Hi Sandy...there have been a few movies that I really shouldn't have watched..and one actually facilitated the meltdown that put me in the hospital. Unfortunately, it isn't until I am done watching the movie that I figured out I shouldn't have watched it!!!! LOL

About domestic violence...my best friend has a husband that is a monster...He is verbally abusive that I know of, and if he is being physically violent as well, she hasn't told me. She is passive, and doesn't have a job outside the home other than helping in their business. She has a house mortgaged to the hilt, and 3 little kids. I watched her go from being a hell-fire, opinionated woman who wouldn't let anyone stand in her way, to a frightened, passive woman who will zone out as soon as trouble starts. I offered to help her get out of that situation, but she said that no matter where she goes, he is there because of the kids. She doesn't want to leave her kids behind....It is really sad, and it is amazing how domestic violence can change a person.

When I was sexually assaulted in college, I was also beaten. Now, if anyone even so much looks at me sideways, I am ready to fight. I know myself now, and if my husband, or anyone else lays a hand on me...I WILL fight back. I don't care much about myself, and I don't mind going to prison.
NO ONE will ever lay a hand on me again. Just my view on it..it is a very difficult situation all the way around.

Love, Mikki
