LEARN SELF DEFENSE!!!!
All my kids have been in martial arts since they were 6 years old. I never want them to ever be victims. They are confident and have never had to use it but, I know if the time came, they would be able to defend themselves.
Please, if attacked, call the police and go to the hospital. Give as many details as possible -You are not at fault and have nothing to be embarrassed about. Taking care of yourself and catching the SOB is what matters- for your future and those who may be his next target.
Finally, many women are unsafe in their own homes. I have been there and know what it is like to be in abusive relationships and being afraid or unworthy of anything better.. BUT you are!!! You are worthy. You were created by a loving God and born for a purpose and it is NOT for being abused! Do not feel sorry for anyone who physically, sexually or verbally abuses you. No matter how many times they say "I am sorry." GET OUT!!! Keep you and your babies safe! Even a shelter is better than an unsafe home. And if you are engaged to someone you suspect or have had abusive experiences with-please don't marry him. You are worth so much more than that!!!!!
If you are determined to not completely end the relationship, still get out and get someplace safe. If they go into therapy and counseling and if they have in time (lots of time) proven they have changed- then only consider renewing the relationship. But in the meantime, take care of yourself physically, financially,emotionally and spiritually-making sure you will never be a victim again
I know this month's subject is a heavy one but I am sure one that many need to hear.
Women-tell your girls
Men-tell your women
and All - tell your children
Teach how to respect and be respected
God bless,
