Tell Somebody: Two Years, Four Months, One Week and a Day

"I could not tell this story before I was healed enough to reveal my truth. My truth is what it is. It is all mine. I own it! Ultimately, I had to "Tell Somebody."

All the good, all the bad, all the unpleasantness, the hurt, the pain, the naiveté.

** Long Post Alert **

I’ve been so consumed with writing, editing, and dealing with the fact that my story is out there, I have not been on Facebook much, except posting a daily scripture and my Wordle results (which I can post from the app),

To Tell Somebody is a major undertaking. Not just the writing of the books (it’s A Trilogy, so there are two more books coming, soon).
It’s the remembering,…the reliving moments I had tried a lifetime to forget…the emotions - good ones, bad ones, terribly awful ones, unfathomably painful ones. The introspection, the wondering what folks must think of me that first time the violence occurred, the second time it happened, the third time…The Two Years, Four Months, One Week, and A Day that I stayed…

While some have purchased the book and have it on a shelf; others have actually read the book. Some say it’s difficult to read…because of their connection to me. I ask that you please read the book…Spoiler- I survived!

It was written from the heart by a woman who loved a man who claimed to love her; but, who instead, beat her, regularly. I wrote it for the women (and, men) in abusive relationships, out of a violent relationship, and the ones who did not live to make it out. It is written for the women who are about to enter an abusive relationship, unknowingly. It is also written for the man who is the abuser.

The light in all of this is that I have met some remarkable women who have, themselves, been victims of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. There stories are compelling, just as remarkable as they are.

I have my voice. Until they can Tell Somebody, I am their voice, too.

"Tell Somebody: Two Years, Four Months, One Week, and A Day - The Memories and Musings of a Battered Wife - A Trilogy, Part I", is the first leg of the journey of young Stephanie Sweeney from friendship to courtship, to a perfect love, and an early marriage to her first love--her one true love, Henry Earl Henderson.

When unforeseen, unexpected violence occurred early in her marriage, Stephanie was frightened and confused. Stephanie, however, continued to hold high hopes for the cessation of the emotional abuse and physical violence that had become her life.

Tell Somebody recounts the quest for the redemption of love Stephanie and Henry once shared, always with a hopeful desire for a "happily ever after" ending.

It’s been a long journey from that day in 1974—when I became a victim of Domestic Violence—to the day when I became a survivor of Domestic Violence! Today, I am a victor, I am victorious over that dark time in my life. I have my voice completely back...I speak out about this awful way of life that many women (and some men) are living whenever I am given the chance to do so. I speak openly, honestly, sincerely—transparently about what I endured at the hands of a man who claimed to love me so much! I am not ashamed; I am not afraid. I speak out about him and what he did to me. And, when I cannot speak, I let the words of my mouth, the meditations of my heart, the indelibly etched memories of my mind speak through the words I have penned for time hereafter...

I was just thinking about this very post/picture minutes ago! There are a lot of folks in our lives masquerading as sheep 🐑 who are wolves 🐺 bent on destroying our peace, joy, happiness, comfort, home, lifestyle, Love, lives (I could go on ad infinitum, but I won’t). Some people don’t deserve to be in your life. Once they show you that they don’t know how to appreciate you, how to care for you, how to love you, get them out of your life, or you get out of theirs! Life is too short to spend it with someone who can’t, won’t, does not, and does not even want to treat right!
And, as always...
