Where are you?
They gave me a piece of paper with this written on it the first day I went to a domestic violence group. I carried that paper will me all of the time, just a different way of looking at my situation I suppose. I would get down and things would get hard and I would look at it again, and remember what my goal was... 'to walk down a different street'. Anyway, again I thought it was something that I would share with ya. Take care and be safe, Dawn

I love my nose!!!!!!!
Some one suggested to me the other day that I get a nose job. They don't know what old Nose and I have been through together! It's a little crooked, and there's a bump in the bridge of it, and every time I look at Nose in the mirror, it reminds me that I am a survivor, and will never ever be made to feel less than a worthy human being again! I'd kiss it if my lips could reach it!
A MESSAGE TO JEFFEREY
Jeff,
First of all, yes, Becca does love you. This is why she has endured all of your torment. However, you can not tell me that you love her. Love is the opposite of hate, the opposite of control, the opposite of abuse. Maybe YOU should take a look at the power and control wheel! You can see this at http://www.infoxchange.net.au/wise/DVIM/DAIP.htm#1.1.
It breaks my heart....
how much of this I can relate to, how much so many of us here can. I found this last night, and thought I would share....

A message for Becca
Hi, I'm new to the board, and I'm not exactly sure what all has been going on in your life, but sweetie, you sound too much like me, and I'm so scared for you!
I gather from what I've read, that this man has beaten you badly enough that it caused you to lose 2 babies. Honey, that makes this man a murderer, and you are next on his hit list! If this man can take the life of an unborn child, he can easily take yours too.

message for the angry mob from Jeff
Why don't you guys back off. Read the first line of that post, I said I didn't want to get "stoned by the angry mob" that is exactly what happened. I am entitled to my opinion, just as everybody else. Oh, by the way everybody, if Becca was not happy with me she would have left a long time ago. She loves me, and there isn't anything anybody can do about it. Sorry people , she chose me over you guys.
