Speaking Out

So I encourage others who have been abused to speak out and speak up.  Here is my latest public advocacy:

Great article!

My children and I were homeless after escaping the abuse. We slept in our car, want "couch surfing" and bounced around before we wound up in The Family Place, a homeless shelter for families. The Shelter staff were not trained to deal with DV--I wasn't offered support or resources. No safety planning either. I had find help all on my own. Even worse, the staff had no knowledge on how to deal with traumatized children. My son had severe PTSD and would have fits of crying, sometimes he would repeat all the swear words & threats his father yelled at him...the memories were so strong he could not hold it, and just had to get it out. I will never forget how a staff member told me to spank my son, and said she would look the other way bc he really needed a whuppin'.

Then I had a Court appt and needed to put my kids in daycare, which cost $50 for the whole day. I was supposed to escrow that money & give it to the Family Place. When I came up short, even though I had a daycare receipt and Court documents to show I was really in court, I was kicked out of the shelter! I could not believe I was thrown out on the street.. again.

It took getting into a Battered Women's Shelter to really make progress and get off the streets. It wasn't easy, but having someone who understands your situation made a HUGE difference.

That is why I appreciate your blog so much, you understand.

Thank you so much for sharing! It encourages me to know that I am not alone. I think people react wrong to what they don't understand. We survivors need to speak out and help others understand that it isn't our fault and to stop judging us. So, we need help at the moment. Doesn't everyone at some time or other? God bless you! Email me if you want to keep in touch. I'm on facebook too:

Hello I have been married for 3years . We have little Boy and I am thinking about leaving. I do not want to make him out to be a bad guy but I am ashamed to talk about this to anyone. I have seen a counselor on my own but they all ask the same thing why do you stay. I used to love him, but he cheated a while ago when I was pregnant , but he treats me like I am the one who wronged him. I ask honey when you come home please hug me or talk to me. He asks me why should I do these things, he gives me dirty looks of disgust. I finally have some selfesteem back after being called fat so many times. I try to hug him or kiss him and he pushes me away. He only calls me when he is out/away but when he is home he never talks to me. I try to make conversation but he treats me like I am stupid. The only way I get money is by pretending I don't care and demanding what I need or want for my baby lot of time I get help from the outside . I have not been kissed when I want to he only sleeps with me when he wants to and as soon as he is done as of like I don't exist . Sorry about the long letter, just tired to fix and make this marriage work but I'm sad unloved disrespected by him and his family and friends God is the only person that gives me love, and doesnt push me away. I want to leave so bad but I'm worried he will take my son from me because I have no where to go.

Hello Friends on this page. I have something to share with you!!! There is a great joy in my heart which I want to share with everyone. My name is MONICA RYAN . I had a misunderstanding with my Man several months ago; which led us to our break up and he never wanted to hear my voice again. But as time went on, a good friend of mine recommended DR OKAYA who could help me with Love Spell to get my man back. At first, I thought the idea of a love spell was strange,but was willing to give it a try because i really love my boyfriend. For the first time I was scared to contact the DR OKAYA because I was not sure if what they did was against my religion. But my friend assured me that they only use Spell which is safe and has no side effects. I felt a little better and decided to contact DR OKAYA on his mail (OKAYASPELLHELP@YAHOO.COM OR OKAYASPELLHELP@OUTLOOK.COM ) I contacted him through his email and explained everything to him. He said that I shouldn't worry, that my lover will come back to me on his knees begging for forgiveness. I bought an item that he told me to buy for the preparation of the spell and assured me that my lover will come to me within 48 hours in remorse. My greatest joy now is that he actually came back to me and fell on his knees begging for forgiveness. We got back together and our relationship has been better this second time around. I have to give DR OKAYA all the credit for helping us get back to a better place than where we began. The new found love that my Man has for me is incredible and i can't wait to see what the future holds for us. Do you have any problem with your loved one? Well worry no more because DR OKAYA can provide you with a spell to get him or her back. With the help of a spell just as he helped me. Contact DR OKAYA via email: OKAYASPELLHELP@YAHOO.COM OR OKAYASPELLHELP@OUTLOOK.COM OR call him on his Moblie Number +2348078291904 or Via his website http://okayaspelllhelp.webs.com
