Awwww supa

I am a survivor of domestic violence.

Being beaten by a man is NOT love, it's hate, anger, power and control, etc. You are not losing one person, but 2 people - Lisa and the unborn child. I hope that boyfriend goes to jail for a very long time. Karma will take care of him in due course.


My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this most difficult time.

You guys, the baby didn't make it She was 5 months along and when she got to the hospital and the doctors figured out she was bleeding inside, they decided to deliver the baby to try and save it but it was too late. She was bleeding all throughout her abdomen, including her uterus and her vagina. This bastard obviously was targeting the baby. Maybe he didn't want it. I don't know. This is just so awful.

Also, I haven't heard as to whether they caught the guy. I still don't have all the details yet. My cousin is going to call me back later today.

richard you are probably right - he beat her so savagely he wasn't leaving anything to chance
poor little thing didn't have much of a chance being so small

i hope his actions torment him for the rest of his days

I know this feeling all to well, when I was in high school I dated a controling women beating guy for about 4 years. At 17 years old, I did not know this was not ok, I thought it would change, he would change. Well that just tells you how smart some 17 year old girls are not. Nevermind the fact that when it got really bad and I tried to tell my parents and his parents about it, they did not believe me. His parents thought I was lying and that their son was the perfect little angle, my parents thought I needed counseling... Then one day right before I moved out and left for college, we had a fight and he slugged me. Something inside of me went off and I fought back. I punched him, and gave him a black eye. Two days later I left for school. One week later I called him and broke up with him over the phone....the only thing I vividly remember him saying is and I quote "I thought you loved me, I though we were going to get married." I wanted to throw up. To this day his mother see's me when I am at home visiting my parents and tried to talk to me like nothing ever happened. ...I feel for you love and I know what you are feeling right now. I made it out, but unfortunately not all of us do and its a shame that more women will not stand up for themselves or have the courage to give a mother fucker a when they need to. I for you and love you lots. Let me know if you need anything. EVER.

Don't let what happened to Lisa happen to you. GET OUT!

I never got to share this article with Lisa and I feel very bad about that. Writing about my own experience really changed me in so many ways. What began as a public service announcement truly became a journey I didn't expect to go on but can honestly say transformed me in many amazing ways. Part of the amazingness of the journey was sharing the article with my immediate family. It meant so much for me to share myself like that.

I can't help but wonder if she knew how much the family really loved her before this happened. I am comforted by the fact that the last time I saw her was at my grandmothers 80th surprise birthday party. She actually made it to her party. That said a lot and meant a lot to the family, including my grandmother. This party was the last time I saw her and I'm glad I have this memory of her because she was happy that day.

I'm going to go see her either tonight or tomorrow morning to say goodbye. And even though she won't be awake, hopefully she will know I'm there and that I love her
