On A Journey To The Unknown

He Knows

After awhile, you just give up
There is no hope that you can see
The drinking gets worse each day
And you realize, there is no we

He starts drinking in the morning
Drinking clear into the night
The things he decides to do
I do not think is so bright

He said he would never hurt me
But this just wasn't true
Physically, he hasn't done in awhile
But the words they hurt too

He knows that I am not one
Who will just coward down
I will defend myself from him
I will not be pushed around

Sue,
Verbal and emotional abuse
is just as harmful
if not worse than physical abuse.
Please start preparing to leave..
at least have a plan, a place to go.
Email me if need be.
~Luv & Hugs, Nancy~

Good for you Sue, don't let him drag you down to his level.

Oh I just wish I could hug you for a moment, I know what you're going through, it's like living hell. But someday it will stop Sue, one way or the other. You may mail me any time my friend and if you need a shoulder to cry on, mine is available, any time.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Sue, I agree, don't let yourself feel so low and have the courage to run away from him if he is being this abusive; you don't deserve any of his torment, you deserve respect. (EXTRA BIG HUGS) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, you can count on me if you need someone to talk to, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Sue
This is very sad and touching.
My heart goes out to you if these circumstances are true.
