Together Again
INTRODUCTION I stood there looking at my daughter's lifeless body lying on my dining room table. She was always so pretty. She looked much better quiet not being able to fire insults like a dragon at me as she has over the years. So disrespectful and hurtful.

Abuse
ABUSE Struggling, trying, crying myself to sleep; ducking and dodging hoping and praying he does not hit me. A woman on the edge alone in the dark. If I don’t get out of this now, I’ll never get a new start. I kept quiet. I thought he was the one. After we were married, I was given every bad name under the sun. I thought he would never treat me so unkind. I lost the weight like he said to cheat on me anyway, I almost lost my mind. I thought to myself, I’ll change him, we'll be alright, only to find a car another woman bought, he drove her all night. I covered up my black eye, covered up my blue. I tried to hide it from my family and friends, but they always knew. I had a little girl who witnessed all of my shame. I finally showed my daughter not to accept misuse, to break those chains, and stop the cycle of abuse. Women are worth loving and giving of love; self-help especially seeking God from above. To the only One who gives unconditionally, why not have someone to respect and love your inner beauty.
