How I Lost My Best Friend To Domestic Violence!

I try to help my best friend but she kept going back. She kept making excuses for him. I'll never forget that day I received that phone call. Saying my best friend and her unborn child was killed by her abusive husband.I lost my best friend. Like everything I knew, switched. It switched so quick and over night. I was so upset with myself because I couldn't stop it.I couldn’t control the situations because she was so in love with him. So I had to deal with that and that’s not easy for me to understand or interpret. When I saw her body laying there in that casket with her unborn child. I was so painless and very upset with myself. So it was hard for me to even pay attention my mind and figure things out because now it became a circus and I felt protective.I was feeling bad inside because I ask myself what change him into this monster. Why he didn't get any help I know deep down inside he loved her but I still don't know what went wrong. I know her family and I was the only person that hated him right now. I had to ask God to forgive me because hate is a powerful word. After everything was over I finally went and seem him.It was a weird confusing space to be in because I was angry, hurt and betrayed. I just felt like he made that mistake because he needed help and whose gonna help him. I ask him why! But he really couldn't answer me, I look into his eyes and said, " I forgive you. I saw the tears roll down his face. I knew right then he needed some help.Nobody’s gonna say he needs help. All they gonna say is he's a monster without looking at the source. I was more concerned about him.” Before I left I prayed for him and that's when I became at peace with my mind. I miss my best friend everyday and I can't bring her back. When I found myself in a domestic violence relationship I thought about her and got out of it. I having been talking about it more than ever now.

Rape or Abuse!

We should decry abuse in any form,whether it's verbal or physical. We should do everything we can to redeem and help bring the abuser to a point of repentance and a change in behavior. Women, you are too precious and beautiful to allow a man to beat you. I understand that women do beat men, but this piece is devoted to a women, who are unquestionably the greatest victims of physical and emotional abuse. A man does not have to physically hit you for it to be abuse. The most damaging abuse is emotional abuse because it can be more difficult to overcome. If your man is emotionally abusing you, please get out of the relationship with him. I have seen too many men who emotionally abuse their women and do not see the tremendously violence that they are doing to them. You don't own these women men so why are you doing this! When a man emotionally and physically abuse a woman, he is a coward. Women, when these men start yelling at you trying to intimidate you, please call the police. Call the police on men who are legitimately trying to intimidate you and who have a strong possibility of putting their hands on you in a violent way. Stop the violence today! We are losing too many women to rape and abuse.

I was a victim of abuse,rape and violence. God kept me and I am here to share my story. I made it! My best friend was killed due to violence in her marriage and I can't get her back. Please don't lose your life over this. It's not worth it! As for me, I'm not standing by "helpless" again. I'm taking a stand. Rape and abuse is not okay. Abuse and rape is not love. Rape and abuse needs all of us to speak up with one clear message. Stop the pain! Stop it now! Don't become a victim of someone else's undisciplined lifestyle!

No means no remember that!
Stop saying he didn't mean to do it!
Stop saying you made him do it!
Stop making excusing for him!
Use your voice!
Make a stand!
