There is no reason to stay in an abusive relationship no matter how much you love the person, abuse is wrong and it is NOT your fault… if you need help go to The National Domestic Violence Hotline or call the hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE(7233)
***
You did the best you could
But it never seems to be enough
Another night with heated words
He continues to berate you
Just for being behind on housework
He condemns you for being lazy
When inside you just feel pain
One day soon you’ll reach your limit
And no matter how hard it may be
It will be better to be alone and struggling
Then being his verbal punching bag
For another tormented day

Thank goodness there are resources available today in most communities to help
victims of domestic abuse.
Nicely written for a difficult subject. 😊
Thank you Walt.
You’re very welcome 😊
Domestic abuse is far greater threat to the one abused as it leaves no visible marks. A very poignant reminder my friend
Thank you. You’re right it is the invisible scars that can hurt just as bad as physical ones.
I know someone in a similar situation. It was heartbreaking
I hope she got help and got out.
Yes she did. 👍
