This sounds like the worst domestic abuse one can imagine. It is so tragic and how the victims feel trapped and unable to reach out for help. Another emotive piece, Rose, one that tears at the heart. Hugs, Elizabeth

Rose,
You speak a serious and sad truth, often denied or hidden away, as Kate says 'inward hell' Well done, Sweet Lady!

Don't we know it, in some shape or form. Sadly, more often than we care to admit. Outward heaven, inward hell. All too real for many caught in an incompatibility trap. Sobering and intense, as well as moving. xx

Domestic violence are the worst kind of violence, because the victim is always the one that shouldn't live in fear because is supposed to be protected by love and respect.

Everybody has it. So that we know. But show us the sun rising and dispercing the signs of storm. There is always sun in some place there.
