It's always the same.
He says he'll change,
That he's SO sorry,
That it was a mistake, and he'll never do it again.
How many times does history have to repeat itself
Before I wake up I finally figure it out?
If I was smarter, I'd show him to the door.
But how can I walk away when he's the best I'll ever get?
That's what he said years ago: "I am the best you will ever get."
And I believed him.
Is it true?
I'll never find out.
Raw, relatable, powerful. xo
ReplyDeleteOh... that hit far too close to home. I don't know if you are actually in an abusive relationship or not. My daughter married a guy that we thought would treat her good, given his family's background. Turned out he was emotionally and verbally abusive. My daughter thought since he was not physically abusive, he would never harm her. He did. It only took one time. He killed her. It changed our lives forever. My post is about her today. There is a link to her story on my page. We also have a fb page dedicated to her and domestic violence awareness. shanielsstory.
ReplyDeleteMy blog is carol-birdsofafeather.blogspot.com Would love your permission to re-post your blog post on shanielsstory fb page. It would be anonymous. Your words were powerful and truthful for so many people.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is going on but I want you to know that you are worth more than he is making you feel.
ReplyDeleteYou are a beautiful, strong, woman and you don't need this. You. Don't. NEED. THIS.
If you need to talk, I'm here. I don't know you but I'm here. xoxox
ReplyDelete---My sister was murdered by her estranged husband 5 years ago.
It was the darkest day of my life, but I do not consider her a victim.
She is now part of the solution to End DV.
She WAS too good for him (always)
He was not good enough for her.
btw, HE NEVER CHANGED & Killed her in the end...
but Her VOICE rises up from the grave every. single. day. thru me.
If you are in an abusive relationship, help is available.
One thing is for sure: He Will Not Change.
