This morning I receive a "Good Morning" message from one of my online friends. When I had mentioned to her the number of hours I was going to be putting in today at my work, she sent me this message:
"I want to thank you for what you are doing from the bottom of my heart. I am a victim of abuse, but I was smart, and got out of the relationship the first time it happened. I did not accept the apology. It was my home and I made him leave. T he sad part is the police wouldn,t help me because I didn,t call when it happened. Well how do you call when someone holds you hostage in your on home, and rips the phone out of the wall, and everytime that I tried to get to the door he just grabbed me and told me that I wasn,t going anywhere except for bed, and then he took a chair and put it in the doorway and sat there just watching me all night so I could do nothing!!!!!! He came home drunk late at night and yelled at me to get his dinner and I told him that if he wanted it to get it himself, and he grabbed me and threw me on the floor, and I ended up with a mild concussion, and a few bruises. Well you take care and once again thankyou so very much. Have a great day, and god bless!"
It just warmed my heart to hear that she was indeed a very strong woman and was able to get out such an abusive relationship.
I urge you, if you know of anyone in an abusive relationship, to have them call 1-800-799-SAFE!!
