You , you , and you, anyone know someone around you who had graduated from invisible to visible dimensions of domestic violence??? If yes, say something on this page....
your sister, your sister in law, your mother, your mother in law, your daughter, your daughter in law, your friend, the woman/girl who stays next door...
It may not be flowers, it may be something else....it is just that in the name of love and in the name of false sense of security, it has happened. It may not be literal death, it may be breaking of spirits through slow but sure doses of violence, subtle /gross.
He sent me flowers today……..
We had our first argument last night, and he said a lot of cruel
things that
really hurt me. I know he is sorry and didn’t mean the things he
said, because
he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today. It wasn’t our anniversary or any other special
day. Last
night he threw me against a wall and started to choke me. It seemed like
a
nightmare, I could n’t believe it was real. I woke up this morning
sore and
brused all over. I know he must be sorry cause he sent me flowers
today.
I got flowers today, and it wasn’t Valentine's Day or any other special
day. Last
night, he beat me up again, it was much worse than all the other
times. If I
leave him, what will I do? How will i take care of my kids?
What about money? I’m afraid of him and scared to leave. But i know
he must be
sorry because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today. Today was a very special day. It was the day of
my funeral.
Last night, he finally killed me. He beat me to death. If only i had
gathered
enough courage to leave him, i would not have gotten flowers
today…….
