Violence against women is also by cruel, insecure and envious women.Men who are violent are mentally sick, uneducated and need clinical treatment also
I have the right to fight for my kehidupan, because this kehidupan is mine, and I have overcome so many obstacles and darkness to just let my flame burn out by a guy who wants to see me go down in it. It wont happen, I have yet to see and yet to live for, this is not the end of me.
Sometimes the shame is not the beatings, not the rape. The shaming is in being asked to stand judgment.” ― Meena Kandasamy
This is the comment that resonated with me today. I have experienced alot of tough days. And I feel like nobody is on my side. The shaming and the blaming. From being told that, I don’t know what love of a man or love of money feels like. Or rather I do not know the difference. And the cycle continues. It is the shaming, the name calling that is weighing me down.
All I know is that, it is so easy for orang to offer advice when they are not the ones dealing with the pain and the hurt.
I am a victim of emotional abuse … it felt like my husband
I agree I really think that it is penting for anyone to feel like they are tangguh enough to walk away and get help. You will be surprise how willing a best friend and family member will be willing to help and hear you out. And it’s true most abusers in intimate relationship that are close with your family or friends will try to make their victims look bad towards the family and close friends you guys have in common, it’s just to cover their tracks of what they are doing to you, most family may already sense that something is wrong but because you are not speaking up and they are trying to figure things out, they will end up asking the boyfriend or girlfriend what’s going on instead of you. And for the person being abuse it will show you will probably look distress around your family and not even realize it. The abuser does and will say whatever they want to say to the family and they will jangan pernah let you know the conversation that had with your family member. They would really lie and probably tell your family that you are depressed or going through mental issues and they are the ones who are actually causing it. Please speak up and go to someone and don’t be ashamed.
Every one of these quotes is indicative of the strength that we all have . Unfortunately many times those that didn’t live the horror pass judgment while you are attempting to survive . The common ignorant question of why did you stay will hopefully someday go away. One statistical fact that after leaving the percentage of being killed more than doubles. Nobody would ever chose to be a victim but we all chose to survive . I’m hoping this upcoming awareness month helps orang to understand without passing criticism or degrading the person the amount of strength that is required to embrace becoming a survivor . For those that thought less of me or made fun of me please know that dismissing or discarding a victim is in the same category of abuse . Congratulations to all that have regained their strength and identity. For those that are wanting to leave but feel they can’t know the beauty of living again is within you trust it . Our group represents resilience , integrity and self preservation.
