Tell Your StoryAfter your have sent your story and you have some distance from writing
it, I suggest you read it again. Really feel your feelings as you read
it. Then ask yourself. "What am I WILLING to do about this?" Please
don't talk to yourself about what you "should" do. You probably have
many things you "should" do and your friends have probably given you the
same "shoulds." But "shoulds" are not helpful. You will not do anything
because you "should." (Me and my friends have a long list for me. I
"should" lose weight. I "should" exercise more. I "should" save more
money. I "should" be nicer. I "should" keep my house cleaner. Am I doing
these? NO!) The real question is, "What are you WILLING to do?" It does
not have to be much to start. Maybe you are willing to read more books
on domestic violence. Maybe you are willing to talk honestly to one
friend you trust. Maybe you are willing to stop making excuses for your
abuser.
