I know a bit about it from the experiences of a family member. I once left the country to rescue her from a near death experience only to have her go back to him. One year later she finally left him and gave herself and her children a much better life. <br /><br />I heard something on NPR about the issue and the woman speaking said that this event has brought more recognition of the domestic violence issue than she has seen in 40 years of working with abused women. <br /><br />My thoughts are with you as I am sure all this makes you recall the worst moments.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659677664470745527.post-78065204838745302502014-09-10T21:36:51.744-07:002014-09-10T21:36:51.744-07:00Fabulous post Bobbie - one I hope many read.

Some because they are afraid and scared of their abuser, others because they stay in the relationship for the sake of their children, some because they have no way to earn a living on their own, and of course those who are manipulated and are led to believe things will change.<br /><br />I truly feel sad for those who are abused and treated so poorly with no voice to protect themselves.<br /><br />Bobbie, you are a very strong woman and have had to deal with many hardships. I know you will continue to be strong and make each day a special one. You have many friends who support you and stand by your side when needed. You would be the perfect person to volunteer to help others thru programs available today for those who need advice or merely a person who understands what they are going through. Think about it.
