Like a drug, I came back for more. I was addicted and oblivious to this brutal war. You left no scar, you left no scrape. Just ten filled years of angst and hate. You abused me. How could I not see? Your words went through my ears and hypnotized me. Abuse they call it. But I thought that too extreme. After all, you had never laid a hand on me. But you ruined my chance to be called “mom” You said you owned me and to you I belonged. You raped me, although you said it was because We were married and your perverseness was just love. But now I see The impact your words had on me. Abuse they call it. I think their right. You crushed my heart and controlled my mind. You made me believe I was just a slut. That you “made” me and I was incapable of being loved. Somehow I found the strength to walk away. I’m only sad I didn’t do it sooner. Too many women go through this everyday. Being abused by the words their husbands say. Don’t think abuse just leaves marks on the skin. Abuse can leave marks also within. If this has or is happening to you, I hope this opens your eyes. Get help as soon as you can. He has no right to control your mind.Birth sign: Sagittarius
