I think it tells a tale of sadness and then repeated sadness. I hope you got out of there.

It's taken awhile...but yeah.
I repeated the cycle too many times.

I have divorced twice. My first marriage followed a childhood of abuse as well. Trying to change things, my second marriage was as much of a mistake, because i took the role as a parent to him, not what you want either. I have been divorced for 12 yrs now, and I think I have gotten to the point I am ready for something real and meaningful. Only time can tell me if I am. Blessings.

this is emotional release and well done. It matters not how it reads to anyone, the value is that it comes from your soul and that it does. I liked this piece very much, it is a story I used to know well. Sometimes it is difficult to break the cycle but once we learn to love ourselves we will never ever accept abuse again.

ROXY my dear,,,my granddaughter is caught up in this kind of thing and she won't stop protecting him,,, I understand your plea,,, if you are out of it,,, PLEASE, stay out,,, my granddaughter has been so bruised and battered and just recently stabbed in the leg,,, she was forced into court and did not testify against him,,, I told her next time she will die,,,
If you've gone this far and you are still battered my dear,,, you for your own sake had better have a talk with your self,,, only YOU can stop your hurt before death,,,
God Bless you,,,
