Domestic abuse in the spotlight

men are definitely abused too. i had typed out a few tidbits from my old relationship but reread it and i deleted it. i just want the memories to go away. they never will. unless you have walked in my shoes or anyone who has been a victim of DV, you will never understand. you can try, but you won't.

i used to shake my head and not understand why someone would stay in an abusive relationship. why wouldn't they just leave? it's not that easy. they abuse you then say they're sorry and it will never happen again.....then it does. again. and gets progressively worse. in my case anyway, it did.

thinking about that relationship sends chills up my spine.
