Because of this blog, I?ve connected with at least 4,000 women and some men. They?ve told me that my blog opened their eyes to the problems in their relationship. They thank me for sharing my experience because they experience my pain, but couldn?t bring themselves to use the words ?domestic abuse? to describe their marriage.?However, once they began seeing their abusive relationship for what it was, they were able, for the first time, to find solutions and experience a greater degree of peace.
I don?t know how I did this, I just know that so many people wouldn?t take the time to email me a lie. Last year I decided to turn portions of my blog into a book so I can reach more people, change more perceptions for the better. (You will find excerpts of the book on some posts dated October 2008-January 2010.)
Domestic abuse silently robs people who are in love with abusers of their ability to love themselves. Our society loses thousands of talented and loving citizens to the silence of abuse daily. Abuse victims cannot be themselves, so they cannot fully contribute their talents, ideas, and great big hearts to the greater good. Abuse silences, then slowly erodes its victims ability to live fully.
A therapist once told me I was an agent of change. I didn?t see it then, but I do now. I want to change how our society views domestic abuse and change how abuse victims see themselves. We are not weak for?succumbing?to the effects of a loved one?s behavior; shame has no place in our healing from abusive relationships.
