This is so powerful….
But I couldn’t see it back then. I was a single mother who didn’t want a broken home, so I took “love” from the first place presented.
I couldn’t see the signs, even though hindsight shows them 20/20.
Immaturity caused me to make rash decisions, and pride kept me bound to them.
Even when I was lied on. Even when I was cheated on. When I was plastered as the villain. When I was spit in the face. When I was drug by my hair across the floor. When I was held down in the bathtub. When I was choked with a tire iron. When my chest was crushed underneath steel toe boots….the list goes on and on.
And I still stayed. Because the poison told me it was MY fault & I had to be better.

I pray if any of this resonates with you, you swallow your pride and make a different choice for your life before it’s too late.
I’ve been there. I remember thinking “he would NEVER…”
Well, he did. Over and over. And the only thing that stops that is your absence. It’ll either come through death or come through your leaving…but the signs will never lie & that person will never change.
Your love cannot change them.
Choose better.
Choose yourself.
Choose. Better.
