“Se sei una donna: Oggi, forse la cosa più stupida è pensare che la violenza sia solo un uomo che ti da uno schiaffo.. Perché il “sei una stupida, stai zitta” sono violenze verbali, ma violenze.” Antonio DiStefano

It happens all around us DV. The story out of GC affected me this week . I could feel her terror, I could feel how alone and afraid she would have been in those moments. She would have been so scared for her little girl. It's not fear for it to end that way, but it does too many times. I know what it's like to see the rage in the mans eyes, that look that he wants to hurt you. I've been there. I remember thinking I could help him, thinking he would change for me. I remember the things he destroyed, the words he would say, the pushing and the shoving, the dominance, the three screws in my finger that he snapped. I remember when he showed his abuse toward me at a friends house one Xmas night. I remember having hidden it from my friends and her saying "but your the strongest person I know?". I glad I was able to leave and get out and take our daughter too. It was hard to leave, we tried, we failed, we tried, we failed. We said goodbye. I moved and he moved. We were only together for 3 years, I got my daughter and a life lesson and luckily for me I got my life with no controlling factors. Alcohol and his own demons were his issue. 7 years on I am so grateful I was able to gather the strength to leave a toxic relationship - I wonder now why I wasted 3 years in a warped sense of love. All the abusive memories have overtaken any good memories I had with him, which isn't fair for my daughter but I think she is better off to not know #saynotodomesticviolence #prayforthewomen #domesticviolenceawareness #itisnotok #whiteribbon #letitgo #jamesbaymusic
