My home life had changed when my father became disabled and lost his job, our home, and our social status. That is when the drinking started and my father’s personality changed. I found myself hiding to stay out of the way and covered my ears so I didn’t hear the outburst of anger toward my mother. The thing is, my father was a good man. He just reacted to a bad situation the wrong way which led him to become something he was not. I believe that many men who are abusive, whether physically or verbally, are angry men. Seeking help early on can save a marriage or relationship and save the children who are the recipients of the abuse as well. An important lesson I have learned is this,”It is not my fault”. If you are reading this and you are in an abusive relationship, remember, it is not your fault! Seek help and encourage your spouse, partner, friend to seek help as well. Being healthy spiritually, emotionally, and physically allows you to LOVE, BELIEVE, AND DREAM again! Go out and wear your LBD and live out your DREAM!
