Powerful words stick in your head
“Your fat”
“Your ugly”
“Your not ******”
“Your worthless “

You put your blinders on because
“I love him”
“What was I thinking”
“He makes me happy”

Abuse in any form is degrading
Verbal
Physically
Emotionally

Don’t be fooled by love
Look beyond the words or actions of another

I was a victim of verbal and ****** abuse
I didn’t see anything wrong until I got out of the relationship
Look further into yourself and make the right decisions

Don’t be another victim of this cruel thing called
ABUSE
This was over 10 years ago but sometimes still haunts me. I’m
Happily married now and couldn’t be happier with my life. Stay strong to all who endure this disease.
