We had our first argument last night, and he said loads of cruel things that really hurt me. I KNOW he’s sorry and didn’t mean the things he said, because he sent me flowers today. I got flowers today. It wasn’t our anniversary or any other special day. Last night he threw me into a wall and started to choke me. It seemed like a nightmare, I couldn’t believe it was real. I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over.I know he MUST be sorry because he sent me flowers today.I got flowers today; it wasn’t Mother’s Day or any other special day. Last night, he beat me up again; it was much worse than all the other times. If I leave him, what will I do? How will I take care of my kids? What about money? I’m afraid of him but scared to leave. But I know he MUST be sorry because he sent me flowers today. I got flowers today. Today was a very special day. It was the day of my funeral. Last night, he finally killed me. He beat me to death. If only I had gathered enough courage to leave him, I wouldn’t have gotten flowers today. Standing against Domestic Abuse! If somebody is laying hands on you… Disrespecting you… Get out before you get unwanted flowers! Women and men need to keep their hands to themselves.
Stop domestic violence. You are worthy of true love and respect ladies. There are resources available to you.

Be a friend to someone who can’t help themselves, its not easy to leave a life you dreamed of but turned into a nightmare.
Men who abuse women are cowards and need to be stopped!
I pray for courage and strength for anyone struggling for the confidence and strength to leave a abusive relationship.
