When I was in high school, a friend’s father kept asking me out and stalking me. He would drive up and down the road in front of our home. He could see when I left the house and walked down to the barn every day to feed and water our horses.
Would I? Could I?

The Pain of Surviving
I was told I was ugly, stupid, dumb and would never amount to anything. I was mocked, bullied, laughed at and ridiculed by him; a person I was supposed to trust. He NEVER told me that he loved me, and I was never offered any emotional support by him. There was no love at all.
He beat my dog so badly that she spent all night digging under the fence to escape her abuse. She ran away. I don't blame her; I would have done the same if I could have.
