I got flowers today and it wasn't Mother's Day or any other special day. Last night he beat me again. And it was much worse than all the other times. If I leave him, what will I do? How will I take care of my kids? What about money? I'm afraid of him and scared to leave. But I know he must be sorry because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today. Today was a very special day. It was the day of my funeral. Last night he finally killed me. He beat me to death. If only I had gathered enough courage and strength to leave him, I would not have gotten flowers today.

Yes, I've read that poem before in fact it was hanging over my desk at work. Below is a video that I use to show when I went into the community help them become aware of domestic violence.

This is a very emotional poem. It brought tears to my eyes. Just thinking of all those woman out there who have cried.

Thank you, and I am so happy that you were able to escape that monster. My state has the highest death rate in the nation from domestic violence. They just started a new court that only handles domestic violence cases.
As we both know, it is easy to say "leave him/her" but in reality, it is most difficult especially with no money to do so. It is even harder to leave with children.
I am happy you are still here to tell us your story

No I was not aware of this being domestic violence awareness month. As domestic violence is more of a problem than most people realize, I think every month people should be made aware of this. Thank you for making me aware of this problem.

Life is too short to live in even a verbally abusive or loveless enviroment. I'm happy for all those who get counseling or have the courage to leave such a situation.

I agree with the one above, how are you logging in to yahoo mails, does your funeral has DSL?
So its my fault that he beats you and I need to be aware that you are staying with a looser that beats you. I know its complex. I am just glad I am a man.
