Can anybody help me please.. Im a 35 yr old woman suffering from domestic violence!!?
You can’t cope with this on your own; you can’t cure a man of violence. It is totally wrong for your children to live in this sort of environment; if you have sons, they are learning that it is OK to beat a woman; if you have daughters, they are learning that a woman is worthless. Take your courage in your hands my dear, and run. The next time he beats you, call the police; you would not let a stranger beat you up; why should he get away with it? After you call the police, call your local centre for abused women…there has to be one; if you don’t know where else to look, ring the Samaritans. I came out of an abusive second marriage 15 years ago. I was six months pregnant with my 5th child. I just had enough one night when he kicked me in the stomach; I went to the police….got a nice policewoman to bring me home, and she spoke to him.

My heart goes out to you and your family. No one expects to find themselves in this type of situation, and it is very difficult to get out of. The best advice that I can give to you is to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE. They can give you referrals to organizations in your state and area. They also have people knowledgeable in issues of domestic violence available to listen 24/7. They will advise you on your individual circumstances. There are no secret remedies for abuse. He can receive treatment and counseling, but he cannot be forced to get help if he does not want it. You have a greater responsibility to your children. He may start beating them up, if he hasn’t already. even if he never lays a hand on them, the longer that they are exposed to watching him hurt you, the greater the chances that your daughters will be in abusive romantic relationships and that your sons will grow up to be abusers themselves. This problem affects the whole family, and it
hi, I am also 35 y.o. and had HBP, and my ex use to be VERY abusive, one day after YEARS of it I locked him in the basement and called the cops, this after my sweet sunshine 3 y.o. Babygirl tells me “Mami you are not a f—– B—–” she has no idea what that is, but she does know to stick up for her mom. My heart felt so strong and I put my foot down and made a whole, not literally… I been through EVEYRTHING you can imagine and then some. Humiliating situations and all. I felt compelled to reply to you. I am also a child of domestic violence. My parents both hit me, and I was verbally abused. Til I was 13 and they abandoned me. It didn’t make me a quitter it made me believe in myself at such an early age I kept the one good thing I learned from the 2, faith in God. When I was all alone I wasn’t I always felt strong, I had God. I hope you feel free to contact me. I have many numbers and the road ahead is hard but is a peaceful one. Is not as heavy. We cannot change a person, think of
