Dear "Abused Women",

Dear "Abused Women", 

Please save your life and leave the marriage/relationship. Never think life will be over because you leave. God will provide help for you. It may seem hard walking away from this relationship to face the uncertainty of dealing with life, loneliness, taking care of kids, paying bills but one thing is certain, God will provide! He will provide new people in your life, he will provide comfort, he will provide ways to take care of your bills.

Are You Helping To Persecute A Victim Of Domestic Abuse?

When I was 18 years old and it was time for me to go to College, I suffered persecution from my father. My father threw me out of his house and told all my deceased mother's family, and his family and friends and  everyone who knew me that I was no good. Who do you think people would believe? Would they believe me? Or would they believe my father? Luckily, I had family and friends who helped me inspite of everything my father did to put obstacles in my way, and to tell people not to help me. My father suffers from alcohol addiction. Did the alcohol tell him to do it? Who knows?

Since then, I have not looked back. God has shown up in my life miraculously, and he continues to show up. People who dont even know me offer me help, give me clothes, food and helped me gain scholarships. Do I hate my father? No. I know God will bless me that one day I will be in a position to help him. But I am not going to let him or any other man (or woman) persecute me. And I am saying to all the women out there, dont be afraid to leave an abusive relationship. My father never hit me, but he kicked me out of his house and I suffered emotional abuse from him. 

To those people reading this. Are you helping to persecute a victim of domestic abuse? If someone tells you not to help another person in their family or who they are in a relationship with, are you going to assist the person who needs the help, or are you going to withhold that help if you are able to offer it? And are you going to tell other people not to help that person?  That is persecution. Or do you see it happening and look the other way and say, "Hmmm... not my business..." Do you help the abuser to put stumbling blocks in the victim's way? Do you help the abuser tear down everything the victim tries to do to build themselves up or progress?That is persecution.

To other people who may have been in a similar situation as I have been. Hold your head high! Be Strong! Be Proud! God has a plan for you! He will make a way! He will open doors you never even knew existed! Dont be afraid to walk away from an abusive relationship!
