As most of you are aware the ribbon on the left signifies Breast cancer and is usually worn by breast cancer survivors or family members that know someone that are fighting the disease. But what you may not be aware of is the ribbon on the right it signifies domestic violence. Both are celebrated this month in October. I'm proud to say that I am a survivor of domestic violence and have been since I was 25 years old which is going on 11 years for me in february.
When I was sixteen years old and in highschool I thought I had met the man of my dreams! I just knew that I was destined to marry this man. Boy was I so wrong! Our relationship started out wonderful for the first two or three years. Until one day when we were arguing and he hit me. I was totally shellshocked to say the least. He apologized and I of course forgave him. It started off gradually as it usually does and I forgave him every time! The arguments as he referred to them as became more and more frequent to the point that I didnt know if I was coming or going most days. I began to lose me, the person I was and who everyone else knew and loved. I began to put more and more makeup on to hide the bruises and scars. I became quite good at it. I didnt want people to know what I had been dealing with for so long. It was my dirty little secret that I could not tell. I was afraid and alone and often wondered how I got to this place in my life. How did

awesome psot hun and sorry about your ex husband you know you will never have to deal with that kinda crap from me! im so glad you got out of that bastards sight and was able to move on! i love you hun more then you can imagine:X:X:XX
Wonderful blog, Tara. It's so good to tell you story so that other's might learn from it and have the courage to leave a situation that isn't a healthy one for them. You just might be helping to save the lives of others who may not have enough courage to take that first step and leave an abusive partner. If they read about how you were able to do it, it might give them courage from reading your success story; plus it will give them motivation when they hear about how happy you are that you left that relationship and have now moved on and are so much happier. And including the signs of an abusive relationship at the bottom of your artilce was an excellent idea, because some people might not recognize the signs of an abusive relationship, or that they are in one, until they read that list.
Thanks for this, Even though it has been criminal offence, but a lot of cases go unreportedly.
Women have been bearing this since ages.
I dont think any law or society can help in terms of permanent solution
Rather I think this is more of personal issue to continue relationship or go for divorce, again which is another social problem..............
Only thing I see is BLACK future of kids in such families.
Thank you everyone for wonderful comments and i agree Glenway by putting my personal story out there for everyone to read about I hope it helps someone have the courage to leave.
good
Thank you April and I agree these ribbons should never have to be used and maybe someday in the future they wont have to be.
Thanks Jessica
