No one has the right to hit, degrade, in-prison or possess another person. We have to set standards and expectations for ourselves and value who we are so that others wont take advantage of us. I am a survivor of 17 years and if I can anyone can, Much love to you all.

I want to discuss faith. There are so many of my sisters caught up in bad situations. I believe the reason is because we as a people lack optimism. If people knew they could do better, and they were sure they would be alright I don't believe people would stay in these situations. These things can never come to pass without the belief of better things to come. Sisters stop holding on to MESS!!!

Men that hit women are down right cowards.

It's a shame, Monica, that no one seems to take action until there is a crisis. Equally a shame is the toll misogyny takes: rape, street harassment, domestic violence, and even murder. More and more the media is teaching us that this type of thing is funny, cute, or even in the slightest okay. Moreover, I didn't realize how much of a crisis misogyny really is until my wife forced me to look myself in the mirror. I, even though I've never so much as raised a hand to my wife, played a role that somehow made me superior to her which only perpetuates the larger problems. Until I learned to see women as true equals - worthy of being taken seriously and listened to - I was only yet another gear in the machine that destroys women from girlhood.

I've learned a lot by listening and try to pass it on to other men. If I get some flack, so be it. I've never been much of a conformist anyway.

Am I seriously the only man in this group? That saddens me.

People also need to realize that abuse come in so many different ways. It's not only physical, but what about the things that are said to a person that degrades them or puts them down. I will never forget when my ex told me that if I can't have you then no one else can. I didn't know if it was the liquor talking or what, however, alcohol is considered a truth serum. There was once a physical altercation that resulted in nothing. But I fault myself for going back.But that's what a lot of women do. It was not always physical but I knew he had the capability to be physical at any moment. But hey, he's now someone else's issue. Love does not equal pain. When someone loves you, you're both happy.
