Answer 1

Yes. I walked out of my apartment one day and getting away from a girl I cared about so much but I knew she was bad for me. All the anger and frustration of years of being used and lied to and threatened were all coming to a boil. The night before she was drunk and calling me names and I am an easy going person by nature, so I let it all fester. I left and it was very hard to do but I put my mind to it that I was never going back and I was never going to be in that kind of relationship again. She called me and begged me to come back to her, but I refused. It nearly tore me in two, but I never faltered. I left that kind of wild life behind me and I am so much better off. I learned that I didn't have to have someone love me, I needed to love someone!

Answer 2

Yes,I was in an abusive relationship for years.I had two kids under 3.I was scared to leave,to leave my possessions and home behind.It was a live or die situation.I knew if I walked out the door my life would forever be changed.Well one day I left with my kids.I left my home,I left my country.My life is definitely forever changed.I had to start all over again,but what an adventure.I put a pin on a map to decide where to go.I lost all my family and friends.But I was safe and had my freedom.I have no regrets.

Answer 3

Yes I walked out the door or away once. It was hard,but now looking back on it. I think I made the right choice. It's hard at times to see or know if you are doing to right thing. If I had have walked away I would have had a sad and empty life with someone who was more caught up in themselves then others around them. It was painful and hard,but over the years I see and am free from the ties.

Answer 4

I believe that happened when I was 14, I know thatb sounds crazy but it's true, I was raped. Early that night I was the lead character in an original play that my acting group all had a hand in writting and I was so proud of myself, I invited everyone and their grandmas. It was about an hour before I had to be at the theater and something told me not to go and all of a sudden I got stage fright and didn't want go. I just knew something bad was going to happen, I just didn't know what. So after a few minutes of arguing with myself, i convinced myself that I was just being a scaredy cat. So this feeling stuck with during the show also and then it happened I forgot one of the most important lines for my character and then after a couple of minutes of improve I finally caught on and remebered it and then life was good and that bad feeling kinda went away at least enough for me to put myself at ease. So after the show my two best-friends and I convinced our parents that we should spend the night at ones house. So after being there for awhile my friends cousin comes home and intorduces hisself to us (my other friend and I). then her parents say he will be babysitting for a while until they come back. Her cousin was very insistant that I come to his room and watch T.V since the other one was asleep and out of lack of good judgement and being naive and 14, I went and that's when my life changed forever. I wish I had never gotten out of bed that day, I wish that play was cancelled or that I had been ill and couldn't perform. I'm haunted by that every now and agian but I haven't been able to just totally forget. That was my first ever sexual experience and I was freaking deveastated. But yes I live thinking I wish I had never been apart of that damn play!!

Answer 5

Yes, I have done it on many occasions. I do not regret any of it. I felt strong enough about my decission then so I must of had great reason why. The broke road in the past has lead me to where I am today. I pat myself on the back for surviving and still standing.

Answer 6

Yes, so sad. When mom divorce one of my dads in Monterey, CA we moved to Indiana. There wasn't room in the car (no trailer then) so we could only take whatever fit in the car with mom and my 2 sisters. I had to leave all my toys, a lot of Barbies - Everything on the sidewalk for dad to pick up later. He never did. I was 10 at the time and it broke my heart. Still does at times. Those were 1962 Barbies!

Answer 7

I know of a story that scared me to death about another drunk driver who took the final breath from a transient man out in Ocala F-L-A. She only did 2 years in prison minus one day. So he had no family, no money, and no home; does that mean he should forfeit right that justice be done? Thanks for pouring this poem like tears down cheeks at a wake.

Answer 8

Yeah, I knew there was a day in my life when everything changed - the day I joined the Army....


Would I do it all again, even knowing the pain, suffering, humiliation, degradation, loss of self respect, and abuse that I suffered since that time to now?




H*LL YEAH I WOULD - one thing I know and have never done - I've never given up, and I've always survived. If there's one thing I'm good at, it's surviving whatever is thrown my way.

Answer 9

Everyday i walk out the door my day is different...I love my crazy life and would change a thing, well i could do without all this chronic pain...

Answer 10

OMG yes! I knew it before I even opened the door. But, it was for the best and it had to be done. If I was still married to that jerk, I wouldn't have my new husband...so yes, it was worth it by far. I knew how my life would be if I stayed and it wasn't pretty.
