I got flowers today. It wasn't my birthday or any other special day. We
had our first argument last night, And he said a lot of cruel things
that really hurt me. I know he is sorry and didn't mean the things he
said.
Because he sent me flowers today I got flowers today. It wasn't our
anniversary or any other special day. Last night, he threw me into a
wall and started to choke me. It seemed like a nightmare. I couldn't
believe it was real. I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over.
I know he must be sorry. Because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today, and it wasn't Mother's Day or any other special
day.
Last night, he beat me up again. And it was much worse than all the
other times. If I leave him, what will I do? How will I take care of my
kids? What about money? I'm afraid of him and scared to leave. But I
know he must be sorry. Because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today. Today was a very special today. It was the day of
my funeral. Last night, he finally killed me. He beat me to death. If
only I had gathered enough courage and strength to leave him, I would
not have gotten flowers...today.

STOP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TODAY!!!
DO NOT TOLERATE IT!!!!!

I'm so glad you posted this Anna. People need to be aware of the abuse
so many people suffer on a daily basis.

It's so hard to look at someone, when you past them by and know they
are living a life that's pure hell... To know, that when you're talking
a friend, that the night before, as they're being tortured, they were
thinking of you, and how they wished you'd either call or drop by, so
it would all stop for a little while... because the abusive one, always
puts on a show in front of outsiders...

Never knowing if you'll live through the night, and/or see your family
and friends again. Not being allowed to even go to the grocery store
alone, because the abuser is afraid, you'll take this opportunity to
tell someone. So you sit in the house, staring at the same walls day
after day after day, like a prisoner in your own home... in fear.
Watching the clock, and dreading it, when it's time for him/her to come
home from work... or whereever.

Walking around numb, feeling absolutely nothing; because that's what
you're told, you are.... Nothing.

Wishing you could just disappear. There are so many woman and children
who live this sorta life. No ones deserves it.

I know someone who lived this life. She has since, --through the grace
of God, gotten over it. But, the fear and the anger never goes away.
The only way to get over something like this is to find someone who
will truly love you and show you, that it does exist (love). And, that
loves DOES NOT hurt.

She has a very loving and supportive family. They came to her rescue
and took her out of the situation, because they saw the signs and the
bruises... what happens to the ones who no one ever looks at closely
enough... or the ones who doesn't have a close family unit, to watch
over them.

Abuse is a very common thing, these days. It doesn't matter who you
are; anyone can fall into this situation. We just need to start looking
at more people... more closely and fight to see that laws are enforced,
to punish those who hurt other people. There are laws... but ...

I could go on and on about this. But I'll stop now. Just so you all
will know... Whether you're my friend or just someone I've just met, if
you ever need me... for anything at all, I'll be just an email or phone
call away...

Love to all! *Hugs! * Charity
