this is to bring to the attention of everyone who has been used as a punch bag or a slave to emotional blackmail.

sorry is not good enough if you cant walk away on your own seek help a friend family reach

out and remember by someone saying SORRY DOESN'T MEAN THEY WILL CHANGE.

IM sorry is what you said when you made me cry. IM SORRY is what you said when you hit me and blacked my eye. IM SORRY is what you said when you punched me in the head. IM SORRY is what you said when you saw me in that hospital bed. IM SORRY is what you said when you realised my pain. IM SORRY is what you said when you hit me once AGAIN. IM SORRY IS WHAT YOU SAID WHEN YOU DROVE ME OVER THE TOP. BUT IM NOT SORRY I LEFT YOU TO MAKE THE ABUSE STOP....

powerful words, Paul. The abused must at some point realize that the 'I'm sorries' are just empty words. Praise goes to those who say, "I'm not sorry I left you." Well said...have a great evening, Sara

A sad yet familiar tale, abuse should not be tolerated more than once at most.
