Leaving the love of my life

(PHOENIX, AZ)

To dance slowly with him was euphoric. To ride on the back of the Harley was perfect. Making love was a joyous union. Abusing me was a nightmare come to life. I can't imagine ever finding anyone that could make me feel as loved as he could.

As much as it hurt to leave...I HAD TO! All women should know that abuse is NOT ACCEPTABLE and will not be tolerated. I still wonder how it was possible for him to make me feel so loved and still be able to strangle me and threaten to kill me. I never cheated, stole or lied to him. Even if I had physical abuse is not right. EVER I have no desire to find anyone else after 3 years. He has a live-in girlfriend.

I am stronger, wiser and self assured now. I put a beautiful golden picture of a fairy above my bed which reads. "I've finally found myself to be someone to care for. I've been SET FREE".

MY WISH FOR EVERY WOMAN IS TO LOVE AND BE LOVED BUT DON'T EVER LOSE YOUR YOURSELF OR PAY A PRICE FOR IT.
