Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:19:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: JD http://violenceunsilenced.com/won/#comment-9391 JD Sun, 28 Mar 2010 12:52:54 +0000 http://violenceunsilenced.com/?p=349#comment-9391 It makes me sick to think what they did to you... It wasn't your fault. There was something wrong with your 'mother', the man, and your sister too. Empathy, just completely missing. And cruelty and selfishness in its place. I wish I could make things better. We'll never meet, and there's only so much words can do, but know that your courage, your love for your own daughter, will stay with me. Know that I respect and admire you for your ability to break the cycle of violence. Thank you for sharing your story. It makes me sick to think what they did to you… It wasn’t your fault.

On their own. I am so, so sorry for the pain you've endured and the loss of your sweet daughter. Your strength is inspiring. Thank you for telling your story.

I feel as if there are some difficult things that have made me a stronger person. I am grateful for what I've learned. What I hate is being different. I hate knowing that it's obvious there's no extended family around. Even my oldest son feels the loss and doesn't understand it's for his safety. People who don't know us, don't get it. I know that people who don't get it aren't worth our time. Sometimes, I just wish I could be as innocent as others. I wish I could think life is simple and a bad day is every light is red on the way to work not something like worrying about restraining orders or whether or not my children's lives are in danger or if they've found me. Your daughter sounds like a precious gift for you and your son. I'm sorry for the losses you've experienced in your life. Thank you for sharing your story.
