Rose I’m so sorry to hear this. It’s hard to see people you love mistake bad treatment for love and go back. I pray she doesn’t. I’m not understanding why he isn’t in jail yet though.

This past weekend I spent five hours with my neice at the hospital. She is 21. Her boyfriend got mad because she went to the store and he took a gun and hit her in the face. She received 12 stitches on the side of her face near her temple and her face and eyes are so swollen she is unrecognizable. She pressed charges but he is still not in jail. I told her she should have never been with a guy who even carried a gun. Hoopefully she will never see him again. But with domestic violence the women tends to run back.

Lenore thank you so much for sharing. I think when people are able to put a face to DV then they will realize that it can happen to anybody. It’s not a poverty thing. It’s not a “she’s weak” thing. It is something that happens and shouldn’t. You are amazing to be so open!

Thank you lady for writing this article! I have been silent for over 20 years on living through DV. For the first time 2 weeks ago I spoke openly about it to the shock of many… Who they see and have come to know is always “pretty on the outside” but what they didn’t know was the journey of the healing of the inside.
