Monday Quote

Reflect on how much pain you’ve suffered, and remember your abuser’s broken promises. Consider the fear you feel and how your children are being affected. Gather your courage to take action. Realize that God offers you real hope for a life free of abuse. Take stock of trustworthy people with whom you may safely share your story. Start by telling one person as soon as you can. Then reach out to others so you’re not relying just one person to meet all your needs.”

Today's Quote

“The next time the abuser tells you that the reason he is abusive towards you is something you have done, remind yourself that no one is ever responsible for another person’s actions. The next time the abuser tells you that he wouldn’t get so angry with you if you would just try harder, remind yourself of how hard you have been trying and how little effect your efforts have had on his actions. And most important, the next time you are lying in bed crying over something the abuser has said or done, remind yourself of who you were before you met him.”

Quote of the Day done

Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind.

Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time.

From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person,

filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand,

uplifted and positive in every thought and deed.
