It is always good to know there are people who have escaped it altogether and are taking a public stand against it, if only in their own lives. You and others have inspired me to always stand tall and strong in spite of the shame of my past, something I am working hard at coping with--a daunting task every day. Continue to stand for what you believe in and to share your story. Perhaps one day, I, too will have the courage to share mine. Again, thank you SO much for sharing!Penneradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18100528401602497059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-53237171614580574762009-03-05T03:26:00.000+08:002009-03-05T03:26:00.000+08:00Thank you so much for sharing your story.

It's no joke telling people you got beat up before so do hope this story is worth it.<BR/><BR/>Rosilie, ya, we have to make people aware that abusing women is NOT NORMAL! <BR/><BR/>Kae, not just a princess, Vince treats me like a queen! =D<BR/><BR/>Mai.Mai, it also took me a long time to forgive. A very long time. It's not easy to let go of something that awful, right?<BR/><BR/>Glaiza, good luck with the new guy!<BR/><BR/>Bucca, good for you! I wish I knew how to defend myself that way, too, but my parents didn't allow me to take up self-defense since it's not very "feminine." Yeesh!<BR/><BR/>Weng, true--the shawarma fiasco is something people in a healthy relationship would laugh about!<BR/><BR/>Levy M., smart or not, abuse happens to women every single day. We must stop this!!!<BR/><BR/>Jennie, thank you for being one of those friends who helped me build my life again.<BR/><BR/>DaisyChain, Riri and Chris are truly back together!

I didn't know you were also in an abusive relationship till now.<BR/><BR/>Your post made me think of my past when I was in an abusive relationship. And I agree with you. It's hard to get out when you're in one because of reasons that "other people would not understand". I think we're pretty lucky we got out and now have wonderful men who loves us. Don't you just love good karma? :)lallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959112189898258661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-67028110019958261162009-03-02T22:26:00.000+08:002009-03-02T22:26:00.000+08:00I will be so sad if they are back together, though...I will be so sad if they are back together, though will totally understand.<BR/>You are so brave to have shared your story,<BR/>I'm so glad you got out <3DaisyChainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344899476185657493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-70080002727125826652009-03-02T20:56:00.000+08:002009-03-02T20:56:00.000+08:00Naiyak naman ako dito, Franz!

I'm so thankful you got out of that relationship tlaga. <BR/><BR/>Bless you heart for sharing your story! Co-dependency is so common in relationships. After all, the thought of starting anew playing the dating game can be pretty tiring already. <BR/><BR/>God bless you and Vince and I am truly happy that you got out of that nightmare relationship.

Thank goodness you really decided to leave.<BR/>Yeah I agree some guys really are good at creating first impressions showering you with material things first and eventually with punches and stuff on your face. I also gone through that but it's more of a verbally-abusive relationship. At first yes, i was also scared to leave because I'm afraid to be left with nothing but in the end I realized, it's one stupid reason--to stay with someone who's not deserving. I fled a month ago and I really loved the freedom. Intelligent people like us does not deserve asshole guys like our exes. I'm now admiring someone new at work and I think he's a nice guy. Despite of what you've been through, you got a great catch in return--Vince. <BR/><BR/>Women are from Venus, yes it's true. The other thing, it's just that some men are from Hades (the Underworld).GLAIZAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17927049661949908631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-41257974033908534452009-03-01T11:47:00.000+08:002009-03-01T11:47:00.000+08:00My heart was pounding really fast when I was readi...My heart was pounding really fast when I was reading this entry.

They see that being abused is normal or at least, they think and believe they deserve it. But, only when self-love and self-respect is gained that they can beget it from others. Somehow, we have to love ourselves first before others can see our real worth. way to go girl!Rosiliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15223637610725460208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-2534380728753759382009-03-01T03:35:00.000+08:002009-03-01T03:35:00.000+08:00It's really amazing of you to share this story -- ...It's really amazing of you to share this story -- it always helps people to know that they are not alone.
