Domestic Violence

I believe there are Angels in the heavens up above,
and that they
watch over us with their infinite love.
I believe I have the right not to be pushed
hit and shoved
Instead that I deserve to be
coddled and loved.

Our daughter Nicole was such a bright young girl I had such high hopes for her.
I prayed that no one would ever do to her what I had experienced. However as she became a teenager, rebellion set in. She turned to the streets as opposed to me. There her abuse started. She went from one abusive relationship to another, all the while having babies that were brought into these relationships six babies in all. It became extremely difficult for her to keep up with everything, thus making her even more vulnerable and dependent upon her abusers. She recently hooked up with the one who would cause her to lose it all. He also abused her children. The end result was the loss of her children for what had been done. Please Help.. when you see abuse!!!
All our prayers are with her and our beautiful Grandchildren

    Each year millions of people are caught up in the struggle with Domestic Violence. A Husband, Wife, boy friend, girlfriend or lover that they thought would be the love of their life turns out to be their worse nightmare. Not only is it a struggle for them but falls onto their children as well. Usually an abusive person does not stop at abusing just them but also abuses the children as well. Many suffer in silence because they are ashamed to admit it and live in total fear of retaliation from their abuser if they tell. They are also afraid to lose their children. An abuser often holds the fear of taking the children if the person does not do as they want. Many times turning them against their family and friends. The abuser cuts them off from everyone so as they alone have control over everything that they do. They fear, that they may persuade them to leave. A person fears anyone getting involved as they might upset them and make things worse. If you know of someone in an abusive relationship help them! Do not give up because they reject your attempts. This is exactly what the abuser wants. Your help can be a matter of life and death!

I'm sharing my pages in hope that it will let others know that they are not alone in their struggle with Domestic Violence and Child Abuse. From childhood on up it seems all I can remember is abuse and mistrust. After years of abuse and losing my first two children, I now have a world free from abuse and all the trust I could want in my soul-mate, my Husband. I have gone through many years of therapy but my mind is still full of vivid memories of abusive relationships that haunt my very being. Some of which has been revived by my Daughters current problem with some of the same issues.
