Watching a random show that suddenly triggers not so good memories. A woman talking about being physically abused and suddenly I am taken back to the age of 12 when my mom's boyfriend at the time began to hit me and my mother, I have not shared this with many people, only a select few. You can't help when things just pop in your head like that. He hit my mom and me from the age of 12 to the age of 19. The weird thing was that his karma was him being verbally and physically violent and to someone at a party and he was shot and killed. I don't know exactly how to feel about that. I don't even know why I am writing this, but I think that I have such a hard time talking about it that I figured I could write about it because that is how I talk about my emotions better. I am lucky to have been strong enough to sort of deal with these emotions. It just sucks when you get flashbacks because you see something. So there it is.
Violence never solves anything. Don't let it happen to you. Do not tolerate it either.
