I was in an abusive relationship for about 2 yrs....I started to hit and fight back and I thought it was ok,if I fought back.This man was driving me nutts....I never started the fights,all he had to do was get 4 beer in him and he thought I was cheating and what ever elese was going threw his sick mind.I realized I shouldn't have to be defending myself against a coward.
Woman do feel trapped,they do feel horrible about themselves.I was just a lucky one,that got out as fast as I did.
The man I am with now,would never hit a woman,he knows its a cowardly thing to do.Our relationship is not perfect,but I never have to worry about being abused by someone who says,they love me...
I have trained in martial arts and kick boxing for many yrs,because of the abuse.I think its something woman should do today,get self defense.It has helped me feel more secure.(don't get me wrong I'm not trying to sound like a toughie) The movie "Enough",I feel very close to.
