as a domestic violence survivor,I speak out from my history of abuse,I was married to a very violent man,for 13 years,I know ,why did I stay? hwat took me so long to leave? etc...
but,the main thing is I am here today,because i finally,woke up,and got out. are pfas enough? hell no,how many woman die,with an order of protection in her pocket?
in all of those years,calling the police,he never once was arrested,the one time he was,no jail time,at all.that shows these cowards ,that they can get away with it,over and over again.
I will never,ever let someone control me again,hurt me,in any way,abuse me mentally or physically...I am worth more than that,and I deserve better than that.
just because your married,does not mean,your husband/or wife owns you..you are your own person. I do,also think,if you stay in that situation,it is considered child abuse...children,should never see that,break the cycle now,people.
if you or someone you know,is being abused,dont look the other way,tomorrow ,will be to late....respect yourself,love yourself,first...just thinking out loud here....
