Reminders

Day 2 and am posting another picture, not because I am looking for sympathy, but as a reminder. A reminder that I don’t deserve this. No one deserves this. Mostly as a reminder not to go back.

Posted in Relationships and tagged domestic violence, he didn't say he was sorry, no one deserves to be abused, physical violence

You remind yourself however you need to. You DON’T deserve that and don’t you dare go back.

Fellow boy mom to boy mom..going back will teach your son that it is acceptable to treat a woman like this. “If hitting my mom is okay then hitting you is okay..”. Don’t let this cycle grow legs. Both you and your son deserve a real man. And real men don’t hit, swing, slap, kick, berate, spit… nothing. Real men show respect despite alcohol, conflict, or outside stresses. Find a real man…you are worth it.
So is your son. XOXO ..and an extra big hug (without squishing your pretty but bruised face)

  Thanks dear. Any idea where to find a real man?? I have absolutely no luck when it comes to finding them.
  
  I also don’t want my son to feel he has to protect me from a man. He is only 12, and still a child, and doesn’t need to be put in that situation. I won’t do that to him. 🙂

    That’s my girl…. :). Hang in there, you will be OK. Even more than OK once he is out of your system.

    I wish there was some sort of a purge you could do to rid yourself of toxic men. I am guessing it would require alcoholic beverages, pedicures, and voodoo dolls!! 😉

  I NEVER want my son to have to see any fit The Cowboy might throw, so I won’t be taking him back. It was his 3rd strike, and he’s out.

Not much I can add there. You don’t deserve that & you have done the right thing for everyone by leaving.

Good for you! I frequently look at my pics as well to remember the exact same thing. Survive!

  Yes, I will keep looking at them, and until the pain goes away, I will also keep pushing on the spot on face, and the places on my neck, as reminders also.

    To share your story, post pictures and reminding yourself that you are better than that treatment is strength. Your strength is the kind that changes generations for the better. You are amazing!
