HI! I HAVE A BOOK SUGGESTION FOR ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED. IT IS CALLED GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER WEAPONS FOR THE WAR AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. THIS BOOK HAS HELPED ME GET THROUGH MANY, MANY, MANY... TIMES, FEARS, UNANWSERED QUESTIONS, SOULTIONS, LONLEYNESS, AND ALL THAT COMES WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. I STILL READ THIS BOOK OVER AND OVER AND OVER... AGAIN! WHENEVER I FEEL THAT LITTLE (BUT SO BIG) PULL IN THE PIT OF MY STOMACHE, THIS BOOK HELPS ME TO REMEMBER WHY I AM NO LONGER WITH HIM.
AND IT HELPS WITH THAT F*!#ING QUESTION: "WHY DIDN'T YOU(SHE) JUST LEAVE!" :argh I HATE WHEN I HEAR PEOPLE SAY THAT OR ASK THAT.
I AM TRULEY A DIFFERANT PERSON, AND TRUST ME THIS BOOK HELPED AND STILL HELPS!
READ IT!! IT IS WORTH THE TIME! FROM ONE WOMAN TO THE NEXT WHETHER YOU HAVE BEEN THERE OR NOT, OR IF YOU EVER ASKED THAT F*!#ED QUESTION :argh "WHY DIDN'T SHE JUST LEAVE"!
SORRY I THINK I GOT OFF ON A TANGENT!
JUST A FRIENDLY BOOK SUGGESTION!:D http://ez2find.com/go.php3?site=book&go=0684833336 (http://hallhealth.com/mental_health/1246.shtml)

Thanks for posting this information, Jaden. Women in the middle of this struggle can use all the support they can find...as I well remember!
