No this is not my life but it frightens me that it could of been. A few years ago i went out with a complete scumbag and if it hadn't been for my friends and family encouraging me not to be scared to leave him then i would probably be still with him. Unfortunately this is the case for many women and it has got to stop. I count myself lucky to have people around that love me.

Kelly this is amazing, once again a really well developed sstory. i love how you tell a tale at the same time as evocing such emotions.. really good job. did my dissertation on domestic violence and spent a lot of time in a woman's refuge so can relate to this and you capture the self- blame and erosion of self identity with ease. well done xx

Wow! This is so true, and so sad it happens. Some people are such people pleasers they entirely forget about themselves. Jpoet*

So sad yet so true.....i know a coupla girls like this one and theyre not even married....great job

Woah.
That was so.. wow!
You really got the point across about domestic violence and why people sucumb to it.
Just... wow...!
5/5 as always!

(And your right about the girl in my poem, she did deserve a slap! x)

This is really sad, its sad to think what women will put up with to satisfy their man. I just think that a person should love you for you and I don't think anyone should go through this type of abuse. But I know how it feels in a way, I went through some things like this and I was blinded and in a way still blinded. But this is strong poem very good with the emotions and the wording you used.5/5
