You don't deserve to be mistreated or disrespected.
Every woman and child deserves to be treated with love and respect. No ones deserves to ever tolerate violence. It’s really important that you reach out for help if you have been abused whether is physical or emotional it’s all abuse. It is never your fault and nothing to be ashamed of. I really can’t express enough how important it is to leave and to seek help.
Years ago when I went through my abuse it was something you rarely spoke about, for 10 years after leaving the refuge I never spoke about it I was ashamed of my past. I speak out today because I won’t other women to feel safe to speak out and know it’s not your fault and that you should leave if you have been abused.
I wont to talk to women from another angle, it is so important as a mother that you show your children by your actions that this is not OK behavior. Teach you daughters that it is not to OK to be mistreated and disrespected and hit and teach your sons that it’s not OK to act that way.
When you are going through abuse you are told you are breaking up the family, that’s not true at all, if you are like me I wanted to be a mother and wife and live the fairy tale. I was a great mother and partner, I know today there was nothing I could have done to stop his behaviors or there was nothing I did to start them, the only way is to take you children to safety.
