Domestic Violence


How are you? I hope you’re all doing great and enjoying this Blog, and I wish it’s of some encouragement to your daily lives. Today I was reading a message, which really got my attention, because what it says is a reality. It’s about domestic violence. I don’t support men who beat up women, I see it as very wrong. I can’t find a logical reason for a man to have the right to beat a woman. I’d rather end the relationship than lay a hand on her. I don’t know how there are still women out there who let their spouses do this to them. Perhaps because of fear, or their children or because of what others might think. I hope that if any woman who’s reading my Blog is going through this type of situation, that she arms herself with courage and takes the necessary action. Here you have the message I read and really impacted me. Thanks for your unconditional support and good luck in everything you do.

I Got Flowers Today


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’s not Valentine’s Day or any other special day. Last night he beat me and threatened to kill me. Not even make-up or long sleeves could hide the cuts and bruises he caused me this time. I couldn’t go to work today, because I didn’t want anyone to find out. But 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 day. 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; if I only I had accepted professional help. I would not have gotten flowers today.
