Such an awful thing to live thru for your daughter, grandchild and yourself. Praying for safety to surround you all. 

Bless you YOH. It’s so nice to have your prayers and support. 😘 

Please be careful and safe 

Thank you Misty. We are being extra careful and are currently safe. I appreciate your sweet comment. 🩷 

congratulations on the law being on her side! that makes me happy to hear. How blessed she is to have such a supportive and caring mom too!! hoping the best for you all!!  

so sorry she endured that. hopefully he will be held accountable for his actions. Be careful desperate folks are capability of anything. I divorced a monster minus the physical abuse but emotion, spirit and mental abuse were his specialty . I have zero contact since my divorce. all my kids are adults. I care for my disabled son who is 26. I am also his guardian so I don't allow him near my son. he was abusive towards how I mentioned above to all of us. but my two remaining sons are being manipulated by him. that can do as they please but as for me and my younger son we don't go near him. I'm glad the lawyer got u justice.  

Thank you Dazey, We are very grateful to have the support of a lawyer and the police. We are blessed to be able to be here for our daughter and her baby. We realize not all domestic violence victims have the same support she has and I am praying for all those who don’t. Thank you for your sweet words. It means so much to me. 😘🩷 

Thank you Prayer Power, I’m so sorry that you and your sons went through the heartache from your ex husband’s abuse. I am glad you left and have no contact with him and that you can protect your son who lives with you. God bless you. I pray that your other two sons will gain insight hearing your side of the story and have “heart changes.” It’s so heartbreaking that our abusers can manipulate our children! 😡 I am a survivor of physical and narcissistic abuse and left my ex husband decades ago. I do see him when there are birthdays, graduations, weddings, funerals, etc. I’m remarried and blessed to be in a loving, peaceful relationship with my hubby. I can say hello and have a bit of small talk with my abusive ex, with and without my husband close by, but after all of these years he STILL lies to my adult kids about me and thinks he’s in control of me. Sadly, it’s obvious my daughter’s husband is violent and massively controlling, but God sees. God hears. God loves us and protects us and gives us free will to stay or leave our abusive partners,family members, friends, coworkers, etc. I’m so glad you left your abuser. With God’s leading, my daughter and I chose to leave our abusive exes too and are grateful and blessed to be safe tonight. 🩷😘 Take good care of yourself.  

Shanekwa- You are a wonderful mother!! i am one of those survivors that had no support! Even with my mother and her family nearby. They all gaslite me and dismissed me, and my feelings of panic. "Its not that bad/could have been worse/you are making a big deal outta this/people in other parts of the world have it worse then you/get over it" i heard these thing from various members of my mom and her family with visible bruises and open welts on my arms, neck and face. I still survived, and now healed my moms toxicity, dads abuse and finishing up healing from the abuse of ex utilizing EMDR and its brought about a wave af peace!  

Thank you Dazey. My heart doesn’t understand why your mom abandoned you at your darkest hour. I am so sorry she did that and know that deep pain myself. My mom and family did the same to me. I’ll never understand why. EMDR healed me and helped settle my heart over my never ending search to understand why they chose to abandon me when I was wounded and fragile. I’m so glad you left and found EMDR therapy. I stand beside you on this journey. I admire your strength and am praying for your continued healing. Sending you lots of love and support. 💕🩷 

My niece just went through this. The very confused man is in jail. She had no lawyer and still was successful in court. Prayers to you and yours. 

Thank you for your prayers Unity. They mean so much to me. I’m sorry your niece went through domestic violence. I am so happy she is free and her voice was heard. Thank God justice was served. I’ll pray for your nieces continue healing and growth. ☀️🩷
