Misunderstood

So Whoopi doesn’t get it. And anyone who hasn’t been in a violent situation doen’t either. You can’t just walk away. People on the outside think it’s simple. You get hit, leave. But it really isn’t so easy. There are economic and social and religious factors to consider. Believe me. I’ve been there!
I am a strong person. But economics are stronger. I endured many more years of abuse than I wanted to because of the economy. And I’m a nurse! I get better pay than the average victim and it was still hard to walk away.
And don’t get me started on the religious problems. They are so conflicting. Luckily I had a female pastor who told me God wouldn’t want you to endure such suffering. And tho that helped free me, there is always the doubt, “Is she right?” Jesus suffered a lot. And I’m always torn between ” He suffered so we don’t have to” and “He suffered and why do we think we’re any better than He is” and “anything we suffer is for the greater glory of God.”

Hi I started this blog for people like me who were in an abusive relationship and are now healing and learning to live free. I was married 32 years to a verbally, emotionally and occasionally physically abusive man. I have four children, 3 grown adults and one preteen. I've been divorced for 3 years but I still have to see my ex on a regular basis because of my daughter's visitation.
