我的名字是布鲁克Axtell家庭暴力的,我是一个幸存者。经过一年的激情浪漫,英俊,有魅力的男人,我惊呆了,当他开始虐待我。我相信他猛烈抨击,因为他是疼痛,和需要的帮助。我相信我的同情心可以恢复他和我们的关系。我的同情心是用来对付我。我害怕他和羞愧我在这个位置。绑定我他是我医治他的愿望。我的同情心是不完整的,因为它不包括我。他威胁要杀了我,我知道我必须逃跑。我真相透露给我的妈妈,她鼓励我在当地家庭暴力庇护所寻求帮助。 This conversation saved my life. Authentic love does not devalue another human being. Authentic love does not silence, shame, or abuse. If you are in a relationship with someone who does not honor or respect you, I want you to know that you are worthy of love. Please reach out for help. Your voice will save you. Let it extend into the night.Let it part the darkness. Let it set you free to know who you truly are: valuable, beautiful, loved.
