Author's Note

This is not of any personal experience
and why my feelings are so strong on this subject ... I don't really know
Abuse of any kind is really a soapbox issure with me. Our laws need to be changed
in favor of the Abused and not the abuser.

it make me cry... to know that many lifes like this one.. have lost one battle in this life..Yes the rain falls down and the Sun comes up.. we are the ones who live in the dark and the torment..dreams come and go.. and so we died alive.. Make me cry to know this life was not in vain...Magic also?
The music was brilliant..how did you do it?
I was amazed of your talent..but it make me cry so hard...!
I'm a sentimental person and so sensitive..thank you.. Magic

I couldn't agree more. Some are pardoned when a President leaves office, but just a small amount of those who need to be released. Rain..

Sorry it took me so long to get here, but I have been flat out. This is a poignant piece of wriiting containing your obvious care for the unjust and I agree with every sensitive word. You have created an awareness, which is so vital to any just cause. There comes a time when Women...and men who are abused under the false protection of their own homes hit back with so much stored anger...enough to kill or maim. The law is an a*s!
I don't believe that anyone has the right to kill another, but I don't believe in abuse either so something has to give in the end.
Thought provoking and sad.

I agree that stronger legal actions should be taken to stop spousal abuse. Your speaking about "eating the walls" reminded me of a highschool buddy saying that his dad did that to his mother. Sad--very sad.

Hello Everyone,

Abuse of any kind, has long been a soapbox issue with me. Emotional abuse in childhood, perhaps the foundation of my strong feelings on the subject.

Our laws to help women (and men) that find themselves in the hands of abuse are antiquated and need to be changed.

Thank you so much for reading.

This is my favorite of all you have written that I have read. The one of your grandson is right there too.

[Ray Hamilton]

What happened to the right to defend yourself?
There is no excuse for any man to hit or abuse any woman!!
This sad story we hear much to often
