Why Does She Stay ღ KKD ღ

Abuse comes in many forms and to the untrained/knowing eye it goes undectected... And to those who have not lived it cant understand it

Why Those who have never lived it ask "Why does she stay The answer is so simple Just walk away". How does one become imprisoned by the abuse? By fear, shock, disbelief and the feeling of no use The self esteem has been stripped you are stupid and ugly your children you would lose you would fail as a Mommy There is no place to turn Because of the shame When all that goes wrong You shoulder the blame. The crack of that first slap will forever be heard The shock is so great that life is but a blur You separate self from family and friends For the bruises you can't hide and the pain that never ends So until you have walked a mile in her shoes don't be so quick to judge that she deserves the abuse ღ KKD ღ Original by Donna DeLong Matthews March 2004 This is dedicated to the thousands of not just abused women but men and children as well.Abuse wears many faces it is that of not just physical but the mental as well and just know that you are not alone and that there  is a way out of your living hell. Yes the pathway out is rocky and feels like it is all up hill, but just ask for help and you will be amazed at the support you will get. The shame is not yours to bear You are not the one that raised an angry hand to your loved (?) one. There are now shelters and organizations you can call. When I went thru this 30 years ago there were no shelters and the law really didnt want to get involved. PLEASE GET OUT 'NOW' for trust me no matter how many times they say ... 'I'm sorry it will never happen again ... I love you ... You know I didnt mean to hurt you ... If you just wouldn't do _ _ _ _ _ to make me mad ... It will happen again and again, You need to get out and the cycle needs to be broken. If ever you should need someone to talk to remember I am here and will do what I can to assist you God Bless you and may he hold you in His loving protective arms as He did me and my girls. ღ KKD ღ Donna

Hey Donna,

Every woman that is abused blames herself because she is brainwashed by these manipulative arseholes. I blamed myself, but it is these men that cannot take responsibilty for their behaviour. They choose to act the way they do and they can control it. These men are very sick and need help themselves and they are the only ones that can make a change. They minimise what abuse they dish out and maximise what we do which is nothing really, you just have to bang a plate or glass and it can send them mental.

I always remember a lovely lady in womens group (Leonie) telling me what these men tell you is only their opinion NOT FACT. So dont belive it.

Loved your writing xxxxx.
