When I was writing this post I read about a Middle Eastern wife whose face was mutulated by her brother-in-law because her husband was angry. My heart ached for her. Women suffer often at the hands of the man who should love us and protect us, the majority suffer in silence and in fear. I agree that it needs to STOP!<br />AngelAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448373654427699340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080991770080735056.post-16525978677080956692013-06-20T15:00:14.966-05:002013-06-20T15:00:14.966-05:00I love it Jennifer!

I finally realized that I didn't have to do anything, he just found excuses to punch me. All these years later the memories are as fresh as they were when they were happening. <br />AngelAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448373654427699340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080991770080735056.post-5603361140266084982013-06-20T14:50:34.209-05:002013-06-20T14:50:34.209-05:00Thank you so much for your prayers.

Hopefully it will be sooner than later.<br /><br />I know that I can find the strength to do things for my children that I could not do for myself. Maybe your friend is the same. <br /><br />She needs to educate herself and quickly. She would not be able to live with herself if something happened to her son by accident when her spouse is in a fit of rage. <br /><br />I was in an abusive relationship. Out of anger he threatened to blow up the building I was living in and watch me and the kids burn.<br /><br />Here is just one link of many that she may find helpful. http://www.gacircleofhope.org/how_to_leave.htm<br /><br />Bye for now, Darlene<br />www.mylittleshopoftreasures.blogspot.ca<br />www.darlenebnemeth.blogspot.ca<br />Darlene Nemethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10654592264544288998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080991770080735056.post-33781456740106045152013-06-20T01:24:34.892-05:002013-06-20T01:24:34.892-05:00She must talk to a PROFESSIONAL who has been train...She must talk to a PROFESSIONAL who has been trained to tell her how to properly leave so that no one is hurt.

My torture started the day after my marriage, when I was told, "you are mine to do whatever I want to, so behave and everything will be ok, you won't be able to live without me anyway". I suffered both physical and mental torture similar to your friend and it drags you down to the point that you feel totally worthless. You start to feel that whatever he tells you is true, my weight ballooned to over 17 stone as I felt so useless, my son who was 10 at the time, was there to watch and see it all happening. He once had me pinned up against a wall, slapping and punching me, when my son came in and said to him, "Dad leave my mum alone", he turned to him and said, "you get out or you are next"!! That was enough for me, do what you like to me but not my son, I am not excusing what I done, as I believe that I had turned into him, but I headbutted him so that he would let me go and the fear left me there and then! I told him he would never lay another finger on me and certainly not my son and I would be leaving him. (Things are so much different in Scotland). He never laid another finger on me as I constantly threatened him with the police, which I did call. I secretly put my name down on a housing list, got a house (within a year), left him while he was at work, left him the minimal amount of furniture and off me and my son went to a new life. It was hard at first, but I am now (12 years later) in a life with my son. At the time of leaving, I didn't know how I would cope, but I did, I lost all my weight, got down to under 9 stone, got a job and was exceedingly happy. I met him a couple of years later, (after I had lost all the weight, got hair cut, got a job, was more confident) and he said to me "my god, what happened to you, you look terrific". I told him "I left you, that is what happened to me".<br />Your friend can do it, I know that she will be terrified of what could happen, but she just needs to find the strength inside her, which is there. She will in her time, stand up to this pig of a man and finally realise that her life along with her son's is far more important and more precious than anything else. I will think of her and hope that she finds this strength and does what she has to do, for her and her son.

I got out because somebody else reached out but the true pain lingered. Looking back now it was a horrible place to be in. I can understand her fear. I hope she gets out of that relationship. It is not going to be easy but there's got to be some way out.

But nothing can happen unless something does happen. It's like a catch 22 and no matter what you do, it's going to be bad. I wonder if she can bring up the chihuahua thing in court. He's obviously inhumane. And people who are inhumane to animals are often inhumane to people as well. I will be praying for her and her son.1House1Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05699985041234962754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080991770080735056.post-64893328847083423472013-06-17T17:19:11.324-05:002013-06-17T17:19:11.324-05:00I would leave too.

He used to hit me with a cane just hard enough not to leave a bruise. He said I was lucky because he held back and the abuse could be much worse. I left after her killed the dog. It is funny it took abuse to a dog to wake me up. I am remarried and happy with a daughter and wonderful husband. I have grandkids and step daughters whom I love like my own. I also have a wonderful (step) son who is a pastor. God will see you through. Tell your friend to be brave and leave. Even if he gets visitation she can request that a Guardian ad litem be appointed for the safety of the child. I am not sure if they do that in your commmunity but in certain cases involving abuse they do it here. Documentation is important like others said. This post hit close to home. Abusive relationships are dark, ugly and scary. I know. I was at a Beth Moore retreat about a month after I had ended my relationship with my former husband. She said to "flee dark relationships." Her advice confirmed my decision. It was the best one I have ever made.Mary Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364984522554522146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080991770080735056.post-62669711516535104482013-06-17T13:39:57.652-05:002013-06-17T13:39:57.652-05:00It's so hard to say what to do when you are no...It's so hard to say what to do when you are not the one in the situation. Verbal abuse is difficult to prove, but I like some of the recommendations above to prove what's been happening. But your friend definitely needs to leave before her son becomes older and haunted by these experiences. If it is this bad now, it will only get worse. I would recommend getting out now before it gets any worse for her and her son. I hope and pray that she and her son is able to get out safe and sound.Epic Mommy Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788596756521877013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080991770080735056.post-67729884239492271322013-06-17T13:35:07.425-05:002013-06-17T13:35:07.425-05:00Angel this post certainly gives serious food for t...Angel this post certainly gives serious food for thought. I am really sorry to read what your friend is going through. Nobody should have to endure this forever. I think the day is going to come when she makes the bold move and leave. So many women around the world have faced abuse in its many forms. Sadly some women stay and it leads to loss of life. When a child is involved the situation is even more tragic. I pray that everything will work out for your friend. She deserves so much more than what she is now experiencing. I am glad that you freed yourself from abuse. Take care and my very best wishes to you.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07742935336463111471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080991770080735056.post-60057139771049278762013-06-17T13:34:08.634-05:002013-06-17T13:34:08.634-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07742935336463111471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080991770080735056.post-3678490845448800342013-06-17T12:17:33.554-05:002013-06-17T12:17:33.554-05:00Found your awesome blog on the MHO Blog Hop, feel ...Found your awesome blog on the MHO Blog Hop, feel free to check out mine www.fourpartsoftheone.com or www.facebook.com/4partsofthe1 xxxlauracarter1https://www.blogger.com/profile/05537521395845469444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080991770080735056.post-12339190753388476932013-06-17T11:07:55.721-05:002013-06-17T11:07:55.721-05:00When you haven't experienced it (like myself) ...When you haven't experienced it (like myself) it's easier to say to get out BUT her child will be harmed as well and the earlier she gets out, the better chances this child won't be haunted by memories of this man.<br /><br />There are women's shelters that can help.
