Welcome

That's a nice poem, sad and very deep... *hugs*

Sad and true. There are fears you just never forget.

Lovely, Carol!

Sighh.. I always have that fear.........

Carol, I read from line five down (not including the title) that a tale of physical abuse emerges.

I send you my prayers. God protect you, amen

Nicely written.. Glad you got out of that situation..

dear friend Carol, it is shocking to hear about the abuse. All to often, these days, one reads about similar things in the news papers, or sees or hears about it on tv or radio. It's horrendous to even imagine the physical abuse. One would have to be a psychologist to know why these things happen, but in simple terms there is no valid reason for a man to ever strike a woman. The long-term emotional & physical abuse, which may arise from some sort of hate-relationship, or even some sort of mental illness, should be noticed by neighbors or fellow-workers or even by local trades-people. But often it is not noticed by others, including the family physician, and eventually something must give and the tragedy be resolved. You have resolved the intial point of "getting out" some nearly 20 years ago, but clearly it has left its mark. I add my prayers to all that has been said to you here by your virtual friends. I hope your outside friends and social services are able to give you support and day-today friendship and comfort. God bless you and keep a watch over you (amen).

Your friend, Loku

I want to thank you for your further explanation. Such things, such nightmare situations,where all 'witnesses' are blind and all innocents have their life threatened, are usually the stuff of plays or movie dramas or in books written by authors of fiction. But here you prove that these are real nightmares that take place in actuality and it is a deeply saddening and horrifying thing to read. Thank you for telling about it. It is a trauma for you to remember these things. I pray God you will obtain closure soon, dear friend Carol. God bless you and give you peace (amen).

Amen

  Carol, *hugs and * I'm glad you got out of that situation, for yours and your Daughters sake!

Carol -

As your Dash-movie we might think more about how we uses our lifes.
What is important and not be experimented with.
Really good written with a thoughtful meaning behind the words!

Carol!

Thanks yourself Carol!
Your life can not have been all good. I feel like crying now...

Thanks!

same to you

Wow this hits home for me. The abuse was from parents for me but abuse is abuse no matter the abuser!!!
I am glad you have healed somewhat. I don't know if you ever heal completely as I never have.
