I just find it so hard to understand this world of male violence. Your stories suggest that it is just everywhere and I find that horrifying. Your writing here is so vivid, Lea. Take care. X

Silence was all I knew up to that point. Unfortunately, when you're scared and you're alone. You gravitate to what is familiar good or bad, there you have it. I eventually learned that but perhaps that was to be my lot and like to prepare me for other things who knows. I will wait patiently and see thank you again. My friend for reading reviewing offering your insight in your kind comments. I value your company thank you!

Oh my goodness Lea, will you ever escape the violence of men? How very sad this is, especially for the children who will remember this incident forever, and just like you, they will be scarred by it. It was slightly different for you as you had no choice, as an adult you have choices even though they are difficult ones.

Another fine chapter and I hung on your every word Lea, love Dolly x

A kind of sad really when you come from violence. Unfortunately, some of us gravitate to it as well. It's cause it's the only thing we knew feeling like I knew at the time but I learned. Quickly keep rearrating i'm glad you liked this chapter appreciate your review as well! Enjoy your evening!

Hello Lea,
it seems that violence is an ongoing part of your life. I can only imagine the many thoughts that must have been flowing through your head. I'm glad that you were there to keep the situation from getting any worse. Domestic abuse doesn't just start in out of the blue. It happens over time and I'm sure this wasn't the first time this lady experienced it. With the frequency that it happens, one would think that all men are brutes, which is far from the truth, but like anything, it only takes a few jerks to ruin it for the rest. Great story gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Unfortunately, when you come from violence. It is the only thing you know until scared as I was. I gravitated to the familiar even if I didn't realize it. I'd learned that lesson since thank God. Thank you for noticing because it is a very valid point. And needs to be mentioned that behavior sometimes does not end with the abuse. There are collateral damage for sure.. Thank you so much. I so appreciate this and you. I'm a broken record I know but there you have it haven't awesome day!

I love the way you write your poetry - its a nice beginning to the read. Frequently lighter than the body of the story. This one so disturbing and triggering as well. phfew glad I'm not dealing with that anymore!
