Read how other victims of Domestic Violence have been able to begin their
life's anew, without the dangers faced while being trapped with an abusive
Man:
I would like to tell you a story
That I have set aside for some time
It's about the kind of husband you've been
And the damage you've caused my mind.
I'll begin by reading you chapter one
Honey flowed, you asked me to be your wife
How charming and very loving you were
When you promised me a happy life.
Chapter two you always wanted me
Oh how you'd cling to me day and night
Until I became pregnant with your baby
Your indifference filled me with fright.
Chapter three you slowly became angry
Whenever our little child cried
You'd stay away for hours on end
Then come home and tell me your lies.
Listen to me now as I read chapter four
When you instructed me to always be home
Your drinking began to take over your mind
While you left me and the baby alone.
Come chapter five your temper did erupt
Like an explosive dynamite stick
When I was late in cooking your supper
You smashed my face with your fist.
Chapter six all began with a promise
That if I stayed it wouldn't happen again
Like a fool I bought into your teardrops
Oh how well I remember back then.
Chapter seven you seemed to be calmer
And I truly believed it would last
Until two weeks later you broke my arm
By twisting until it had snapped..
How well I remember this chapter eight
When our baby was just two years of age
You shook him so hard I thought he would die
From your violent and uncontrollable rage.
Now listen real close to this chapter nine
For my child and I are not staying
I've made arrangements to go somewhere safe
Before you kill us and in the ground we'd be laying.
And now for the conclusion in chapter ten
To be read by girlfriend, companion, or wife
Don't ever remain with an abusive man
Or you may not escape with your life.
