So i'm sitting thinking about how much my life has changed since i first moved out of my parents home back in 1997. The life that i had and how much it has made the person i am today and that even though i am not happy for the things that happend but i am. I hope that makes sense.
For those of you that read these and actually know me, knows the life that i have had. A life that i wouldn't wish upon anyone.
I remember the day i left my first husband i heard a song on the radio and i cried. I remember thinking dang that is my life why.... I felt dead inside, i wasn't the happy person i use to be, i didn't care about myself or anyone...
How Come, How Long

There was a girl I used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the life of this little girl
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes
She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore,
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time we might savesomebody's life
How come, how longIt's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes
I on occasion met that guy
It's been a feeling deep inside
Some ... wasn't right
The way he proves himself a man
By beating his woman with his hands
Oh I wish that she'd seen the light
How can someone like that call himself a man
He's not a manSoon reality ...
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs'
Cause any kind of abuse
God knows, it's a crime
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes
How many times i wished someone would call 911, instead they told me that it wasn't their business and that i had to deal with it.
So ever since then i made a stand against domestic violence, and i refuse to watch another woman be a victim to it. However, you can't force anyone to leave the situation they just need help or maybe even a friend. Domestic violence is in all forms from sexual, to physical, to mental, to emotional and verbal. Don't allow anyone make you feel worthless or treat u in a way that is wrong.
How many times i wished that someone would have called 911
