Yes this is different and I am proud to say that the judge convicted the man of abusing his wife. Two years probabiton and two years of anger management or else. She has a protective order but went to work as he won't support kids. But he has another day in court. He will not face a real man but there are those of us out there waiting and willing to help.

And did she hear her own cry
Rise from wet grass
As she rises from her knees

Powerful ending... It takes courage and strength, to get back up and try again. To never stay down, for rewards which have not yet been seen...

Maybe for once she heard her own voice. And the power, and the strength of it so overwhelmed her that she thought her heart stopped beating. And the knowledge that she had a voice of her own. A voice that she owned, that she could control, that it made the tears rise and her knees were all green, for she was envious of her own voice, its strength and her power over self, the power that is her. ~ Sara
