  As a survivor of abuse myself I know that my abuser was at fault and not myself. Yes it takes two to have a fight but violence has no place in a relationship.

    There are times I’m not sure I was the abuser or the abused…I had been on 20mg of Prozac for quite some time and my damned docto got at the time pulled me off of it…I freaked out…I had no idea of a narci at the time but I began to think that she was cheating and I got jealous…One thing led to another and I ended up with a felony domestic violence conviction…Time passed and we even tried to reconcile but it seems as if what some of the ladies who’ve known me for quite some time have said once a cheater always a cheater…So this time instead of doing anything stupid I threw my clothes in the car left everything behind and I’ve moved on…Although you will never hear me say that I am the victim…Oh well…Single for life is my new mantra… more »

    Abuse is a scary thing, physically and mentally. Idk who had the black eye but I would pray for them, may we all know real love one day. Words can kill just as much as fists. Just a different death I guess.

  It has a good flow. The reader can feel the pain that was held inside for way too long.

  Certainly heartfelt. Could use improvement on grammar, unless slang was intentional. I hope you are now free!

  Quite an insight into the mindset of an abused person. I like how it points out that the abused seems to believe it is their own fault their abuser hurts them and how much they believe their imperfection is anti-reflection of the perceived perfection of the abuser. Well written. more »
