Real confidence comes from knowing and accepting yourself- your strengths and your limitations –in contrast to depending on affirmation from others. Judith Bardwick- the Plateauing Trap 8, 1988
Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities because,
as has been said, it is the quality which guarantees all others. Winston Churchill

Dear Rosetta,
Thank you for sharing your touching poem, it was very sad to read. You have such a sad soul. I can feel it from here. We all have our own reasons for staying so I don’t know why you stay, I stayed for fear he would kill me or my son if I left, I finally left when I feared I was to die that night.
It sounds like you don’t have very supportive people around you. You must find someone you can trust. Do you have children? If not can you find the funds to just escape? You don’t have to tell anyone about your plans. Check out some of the links under the blogrool on the front page of this blog, there are supportive services and places out there.
You do NOT deserve to live the way you are living. I can tell you are a very smart woman, don’t allow him to kill your soul. It is never to late to start over and be the woman you were meant to be.
Feel free to post here again, I will respond here as others will too. I will not email directly for I don’t want to ever put you in any jeopardy.
You are in my thoughts and prayers Rosetta. People who have never met you really do care about your well being.
Love & Peace,
Rebecca

I STRECHED MY HANDS AND YOU HAD THEM CUT OFF.

YOU TOOK MY INNER PARTS AND FEED THEM TO MY ENEMIES;
YOU STOLE MY HEART AND BURIED IN THE DEEPEST PIT;
BUT MY DEAR FRIEND IT KEEPS LOVING YOU.
MY DEAR FRIEND
DEAR FRIEND YOU HAVE EATEN MY FLESH;
YOU HAVE DRANK MY BLOOD
YOUR TEETH HAVE LEFT MARKS ON THEM
AND YOU TRIED TO CONCEAL YOUR CRIME
BUT IN A VISION I SAW YOU FACE
BLOOD ON YOUR LIPS AND YOUR HAND
YOU SHARED MY FLESH AND MY BLOOD
MY TEARS YOU HAVE IGNORED
MY CRIES FELL ON DEAFF EARS
YOU BRING GREAT CALAMITY SUCH AS NOT DONE IN MY LIFETIME
YOU MADE A GREAT FEAST AND INVITED EVERYONE TO EAT
I HAVE RAISED MY EYES AND THRU THE WINDOW I SEE A MOUNTAIN;
WHO WILL RESCUE ME?

Dear Dr. GIlbert,
You had thanked me to listing your Success Hotline on a Domestic Abuse Blog, I actually have your Success Hotline number listed on 3 of my blogs and in my Ezine as a motivational tool/resource. No matter when I need a boost your calls and wisdom help. I belive that your calls inspire many people. I was thrilled to see you started a blog too and have linked one of my blogs to you as well.
