Here's to the strong women who endure mental, sexual, and physical abuse on a daily basis and still stay strong and continue to fight back! I never have kept quiet about any abuse I went through, even as a child. I spoke out then as I do now. I got tired of leaving MY home during battles! Where I live, if a woman defends herself, she goes to jail too and the children go to the state, as if what they went through wasn't enough. Some of us fight back. If there are several witnesses, including children, why does the victim pay yet again? Not everyone has 5 grand to dish out for a lawyer, then what? The police won't make my abuser leave my father's home, he wont sign the divorce papers, won't get anger mgt or a job. Wont leave the house! I fight back... some laws in my state need to change.

You never know when someone arrives at work after some severe abuse that way. And they just have to try to cover it up and function anyway.
