Memories
Posted On Tuesday October 9, 2007 By Brittany
The sadest thing i hold on to in my life are memories. The day i came home and all my stuff was gone and my mom left back to her husband that just recently abused us. The feeling as i walked into a empty room still haunts me and the tears are permently stuck on my face. I memeber her voice saying she was sorry and couldn’t explain for the pain. Since then my life has been a nightmare that i think will never go away. So now that she is gone i cry my self to sleep remembering when she tucked me in and kissed me on the check and gently said goodnight i love you baby!
Share Your Thoughts [1]The Plane Ticket
Posted On Tuesday February 27, 2007 By curvyI still have the plane ticket stub from the day I finally decided to leave my abusive husband. I got in a plane and flew away, taking my baby with me, to family, to safety. Sometimes I look at it and wonder why I waited so long. I wish I could turn back time and make the date on the ticket six months earlier in order to save myself some of the pain.

The Fork
Posted On Sunday February 18, 2007 By MartineWhen I was 19 I fell in love with a man who, for the first year, was the best thing that ever happened to me. Gradually he became more jealous and restrictive, and then violent. I became a prisoner in our house for 4 years. He came between me and my family and my friends. When I finally managed to leave him (and stay safe) I began drinking heavily because I was unable to cope and needed therapy. I had lost almost all my friends. In the years since I have managed to reconstruct my life and make lots of new friends, but I have not had an intimate relationship with a man. Just a few close-calls. All I have left from the time I spent with him is a fork from his silverware set. Its a nice heavy sturdy fork and I use it to crimp pie borders. I try to forget where it came from but every time I see it I think of him.
