I hope her family stands behind her and gives her information on abuse…really, that’s all they can do. to help her get a clue, to get some idea of what she is choosing here. because she really doesn’t know, nobody wants to end up dead or barren or an amputee or their face half gone or left with other physical and mental injuries that will last their whole life. in my case my worst injury was a fractured skull that left me with permanent brain damage, but believe me it could have been much worse. I was in a recovery group with women who had all those aforementioned injuries and more.

and we all sat there looking like a band of war refugees or something, some of us in denial about our own responsibility in choosing to be with these people…we all struggled to understand how it went from ‘just’ a slap or punch to such horror. To understand that by in choosing to accept the slap, to overlook the slap, to go back to the slap, we were choosing everything that followed. It was painful to realize that about myself but I feel that the facilitator of the group was truly an angel for challenging us to accept responsibility because she made me realize that if I did not understand my part; my choices, I would, most likely, go back to him or just find another abusive man to batter me.

maybe someone close to Rihanna can drive this point home to her, or give her some information about this or at least suggest it and maybe she will really, really consider it. I highly doubt it, because if this report is true he and she are in the ‘honeymoon’ phase, and this is…such an emotionally powerful ‘good’ time. It is intoxicating. It is overwhelming. It is addictive. oh! you have no idea unless you have been there. He and she are now in a ricochet of passion and interdependence and pain. It’s high drama worse than any Shakespeare play. but this girl is playing with fire, because this is not a play, it’s her life.

nobody can rescue her. I hope she wakes up and rescues herself.

this is the best/easiest time to leave an abusive relationship, because if ‘all’ they’ve done is smack you around and bruise you up a bit, it hasn’t got to the point where they will feel compelled to kill you if you leave. usually.
