Links to some serious stuff.
May. 4th, 2004 07:41 pmPlease note; The following links are to a personal account (in three parts) of marital abuse of the sort that makes me burn hot with utter fear and recognition, and the blood in my veins to run ice cold. I literally heard a roaring in my ears as I read them.
They are simply and plainly told. And they are terrifying.
But they are real. I recognize the sort of mentality of her abuser, I recognize the small details, the horror of the intimated intimidation.
This isn't erotic at all. This isn't for the weak-stomached. This isn't something that should be ignored, however.
This is something that for all its horror *should* be read, should be distributed, should be public. Because it will continue to burn underground if it's buried, like the tire mountains that smoulder, toxic fumes seeping from under landfills.
This is the face of abuse.
My first Wedding - How I got married in a Gun Range. (Part 1)
First Marriage - Saga Continues - The Beatings begin...(Part 2)
First Marriage - Ending, The Cost of Freedom. (Part 3)
With that I am going to the poetry reading. I'll be online later tonight.
