Color Me Butterfly

I have experienced domestic violence not once but, twice in my life and it seemed to all start once I became pregnant. It was as if a sane gene from these men was removed once a child had been conceived but,I fought them everyday until I got to the point that I was finally tired of my children hearing the constant disrespect and verbal abuse that I was receiving and giving in return. That was no way a child should be brought up. I cut my losses and decided to just leave well enough alone but,in the last incident with my youngest child's father, he turned into a stalker and things really got ugly until I turned the tables on him and showed him that I was no longer afraid of him and showed him how a real stalker operates. He has since left me alone and doesn't bother me as far as our child is concerned and I am very content with that and all three of my children are very happy now and that's how childhood should be for children. I am a single mother and I don't currently have a companion and I am very happy with me, my life and my children. I will say this to all women that have ever experienced dosmestic violence, it's not the end of the world but, don't let anyone (male or female) make you feel as though you are not worthy, love yourself before you love anyone else. It takes time to build your self-esteem back up but, over time it will happen and always get to know the person that you may want to engage in a relationship with before you get yourself to involved with them. Just know that you were not put on this Earth to anyone's personal punching bag so please to those of you out there, get out of that bad relationship before it's too late to do so. Remember there is always someone out there that can help you.
