Stop Violence Against Women and Children: 4 Years to Life

4 Years to Life

Well, here we are again... it's time for yet another trial of Stanko. It never ceases to amaze me that this man who entered my life in 1992 has made it necessary to remain involved in some way all these years; long after his last attempt to control me. In the manner of control, there are mind games, lies, excessive anger and yes... kindness. Just the same, the abuse can form in many ways. He still takes a piece of life from me it seems each time I have to face the past and explain it in detail to strangers.
He is on trial for the murder of a 74 year old man who in my best estimation had only known him for about 8 months. I knew him for 4 years before he violently attacked me. Many days I find myself asking; "Why am I still here?"
If you feel that your attacker has made the effort to take your life or that of your child and God interceded to foil his plan and lead you (your child) out of harm's way... please add a post and let's discuss the ways we are here by the Grace of God and in that blessing; we should help others.
That is how I believe my life is to move forward. In helping others; we ultimate heal ourselves.
God Bless.

Welcome to STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN and CHILDREN

Have you imagined a world without violence?
I have and do on a regular basis. As I watch the growing problem with child abductions, child abuse, battered women and unfortunately, murdered women and children; I pause to ask "why do we continue to see this problem increase in its intensity?" and I pray for a manner in which ceases this growth and reverses the pattern.
We can act by demanding better laws be put into place against these attackers, making a conscious effort to be more alert, and to learn how to fight back. It is our responsibility to fight for improved laws so that we hold these predators and violent attackers to face severe and harsh punishment.
Being a survivor of an attack and having lived in a mentally challenging relationship; I have a real passion for those who are suffering daily and a desire to protect those who are in danger of their spouse, parent or a stranger taking the step of violence against them.
I ask you to share your story, your concerns and your ideas as well as posting any known and valid resources to assist in helping Stop this Violence against Women and Children.
Thank you for blogging with us.
