Written to the "new" partner of an abusive man. Written with great emotion and foreboding.

Enjoy the fairy-tale while you can,
before you know it, it will end.


He was always a prince,
until he wasn't.

One day, he will change.


If you love him, you would help him to face his inner demons.
The ones, that drove his family apart.


They're still there.
And you know it.


You have seen them rear their ugly heads.


Quit denying.
Start applying.
Pay attention.
Before it's too late for you,
too late,
for them.



Don't be foolish.
Think you're more of a woman.
More of a person.
You are not immune.


I pray for you.
I warn.
I educate.
I feel for you because I was you.




All that you have now,
Was mine.
And I did not walk away,
I ran.



There was a reason that I grabbed my kids and we ran.
Think about that.
Be smart.
Get the info.
All of it.
Not just his.
Protect yourself, and your kids.
Fairy tales always have some darkness.
Your darkness is inevitable.
Be ready.
I'll pray for you.
