Letters to the Abused

Letters to the Abused focuses on how a relationship begins, and how it ends.

Letters to the Abused came about in 1999. I had been in a bad relationshipwhich resulted in Prison time for the man who abused me. From there I keptadding on. One bad relationship after another.

My goal is to reach out to those who are in a bad relationship, who feels there isno way out. There is staying in the relationship is not only bad for the person whois in it but the children involved as well. The cycle needs to be stopped. Manytimes easier said than done. We all at one point or another believe in secondchances past that it will not stop it keeps happening. Abusers many times makethe abused feel as though they are the ones who ask to be hit, that they deservewhat they get. Not true in all cases, but most abusers, are down on themselves forone reason or another, in turn they take it out on another defenseless person.

Keep in mind there is a way out, as my poetry has pointed out. No one deservesto be abused.
