This is most likely the suckies poem I have ever written. I am sorry for its sketchyness but it needed to be written tonight under my circumstances Why say those mean things, Do you hate me as I hate you? You raised me to be smart So now Im leaving. Im heading into the unkown. Where your words no longer Can cause unneeded pain. Im tired of shrugging it off. Punches hurt but your words go much deeper then skin. They are left in my mind For me to dwell on. |

Been there! Best is to leave since very often verbal abuse is a habit which people refuse or are unable to abandon for certain emotional psychological reasons. Sometimes we might think that we are the person's preferred or only target. But this is not necessarily true. Thanks for sharing! God bless! |

"You raised me to be smart So now Im leaving" Smiling at this one; it had a familiar ring to it. Vent, then find a new habitat. |

what i think? i truly despise the word 'suckiest'. i know that's not really word, but it still annoys me. and the poem? there are some very strong emotions in this. but you don't have to capitalize the beginning of every line. and i think the piece would definitely benefit from a little more punctuation, ie. apostrophes and commas, etc. that aside, it was a good write. thanks for sharing.  /jen/ what if they gave a war, and nobody came... |

Mental abuse leaves deeper scars than physical abuse and those scars take far longer to heal. I wish you the best in this circumstance. You must leave the source of the abuse to begin to heal...otherwise, the scab keeps getting scratched off and the sore festers. My prayers are with you  ~ Ruth |

Hoot said it very well....I totally agree, and don't go back....and don't believe they will stop....they all say that....time and time again, over and over.... Very pointed and emotional poem...nothing wrong with what you have written... |

Jay, I'm so sorry to see anyone have to suffer abuse of any kind. I had that kind of abuse in part of my marriage. My late husband treated me that way until he started going to church. Even after that he still let those cruel words slip sometimes, before he died. No matter how much the abuser apologizes and says they're sorry, those words have been said and been planted in the abused peson's mind and heart. They cause scars that take a very long time to heal. May God help you and bless you, Jay. "Love makes the world go around" |

Jay I went through this for several years and finally had to leave. My only advice is that if you are young then make sure you plan it out before you do. Make sure you have the finances or a good job in place and a support base of friends that will stand by you. Mental abuse is sometimes worse than physical, as a bruise heals quicker than words will. I wish you the best stick it out as long as you can to make your plan and then get away. Good luck and may those wounds heal in time. raph [This message has been edited by Aenimal (12-15-2002 10:43 AM).] |
