It’s not as easy to get help as they say. 2 nights ago a man beat his girlfriend (not the first time he had done this) they later went to a gas station where the girl ran to people getting gas begging for help and even tried to hide under a truck. 3 men, including one pumping gas into the truck she was hiding under, stood back and allowed the boyfriend to pull her out from under the truck, slung her over his shoulder, while she kicked and screamed for help, and threw her back in the car. No one helped her. No one listened to her pleas. They were found the next day. This clip is from a report from the police department saying if your a victim of domestic violence you can get help. And it’s bull shit! People have asked when I first wanted out and why I stayed after that point. It’s because I knew, just like most women do, that they system is broken. That the public will sit idly by, that unless your almost dead it probably wasn’t “that bad”. That there is only token gestures of “help”. That you will most likely have to deal with your abuser again and now, Since you tried to get help, they are even more mad and more dangerous. as a victim you will have people blame you, you will be victimized again by the system set up to help you and you will be left to figure it out on your own. You will be responsible for your safety. If I could do it again I’d just run. I’d try and disappear. I can’t do that now. Now I’m here. And I’m going to fight. Fight for our freedom. Fight for our safety. Fight to make changes so more women don’t have to be stuck in a broken System with no hope. Fight to not become another statistic. I’m not going away and I’m not going to stop!
