    When I was little, I used to listen to my father beat my mother up @least 1X pr/wk from the upstairs heating register. Then, When I was old enough to have relationships of my own, I got myself into 3 or 4 consecutive abusive relationships. That is how I dealt w/it. I sustained many injuries including a broken jaw (which will never again be right throughout the rest of my life.) and a perforated ear drum (which I will never be able hear properly out of that ear for the rest of my life.) It has been over 21+yrs now since I have hit anyone, or have been hit by anyone. I can tell when I am with an abuser by a sick, nauseous feeling I get in the bottom of my gutt. It is like I swallowed a huge rock, that just sickens the rest of my body. As soon as I get this feeling 1X, I run, and I run away from that person as fast as I can. I do not allow abusers into my life anymore. Actually I have quite a lot to say on the subject, because I was a classic, textbook case of "battered woman's syndrome" and studied it some. It was the education about it that allowed me to move past that chapter in my life. I am sure one day it will allow me to pass the info onto my daughter, and teach her so that maybe she will not become involved in abusive relationships. I understand the dynamic inside and out because I have been there. I regret having to have had to be one of the ones to go through it, but I can say that it def has made me a better person because of it. Currently, I deal with it by being righteous in my standings, and help when I can. I share my experience, strength and hope to others who may be in need of help and advice that cross my path. Nowadays though sensitive topics like these are all out in the open a lot more then they ever have been and peoples are just not falling into them as easily as we used to. Humanity has evolved. Of course, there are always going to be those who have fallen behind, and need assistance.

    My email in/out box is open.

    in case you opt for something unique and extremely exciting. you ought to ask why militia adult men and police officials are the most likely to damage and kill their companions contained in the united states. for sure change it on your form yet thats an truly lower than researched topic, regardless of in case you chop it all the way down to militia relationships purely. in case you dont like my reaction edit and ill arise with something else or the quite thesis for you .
