Before the month is over, let me finish the domestic violence series..
I posted a poll earlier in the month asking what you thought would be the worst..
Watching a parent in a domestic situation, you yourself being in a domestic situation or watching one of your kids in one.. The poll only had a couple votes, but both agreed, watching your child..
I wholeheartedly can agree with this..
One thing we do regardless is worry about our kids. To have them crying through a phone to help them.... A whole different level of emotions..
Just to know that you'll have to ride the wave is bad enough, but to not be able to save them fast enough... You have an out of body moment one that eats at you. Stores itself deep in your muscles. (That's where our trauma goes, I've heard, and believe.) At the end of the day, this is in my opinion the worst situation to live through. I will forever be grateful that moment has passed and won't get into specifics, but definitely one hard pill to swallow..
Nonetheless.. No matter what you say or do, everyone has to hit a point on their own to leave. That doesn't mean don't try and talk sense into someone, but don't judge when they go back.. Be there when they're considering leaving, be there when they just need to vent, just keep showing up with real love.
I can't explain the going back, all I can explain personally is, I know who was still here for me afterwards without judgment. To them people, I love ya'll. I whole heartedly apologize for putting you through that worry, that drama, that messy situation. For some reason God/the universe whichever had me experience all three scenarios.. I wouldn't change that because it happened for a reason. I will however work on how that trauma conditioned me personally..
If you or someone you know is in a bad situation, help them get out. The justice system sadly won't save them with a piece of paper, but you can still get them out safe...
