Wait a minute, looks like I did do a 3 month anniversary post. But I saved it in draft because I never finished it. Oh well, voila!
10/14/08 --Yes, it has been a little over 3 months for me. I have had a lot of ups and downs, sometimes scrambling for words to say--even feeling pressured (by myself) to come up with something to say everyday.
I started this site because I was only able to find a handful of others like it. But I don't know if that is accurate either. There are a handful of domestic violence blogs, but apparently, most of them are no longer current.
This scares me a little. Where did the women go? Are they alive? Are they hiding?
I will never know.
I wouldn't be able to recognize these women on the news because I've never seen them and often times aliases are used. And even if not, the media distorts the truth so much that perhaps I wouldn't be able to identify the victims' story.
Some survivors who do have blogs, or websites, are authors of books and are involved in other things. I think this blog is unique in that I am telling my story after having survived, but still being in the struggle. It is different when you talk about it and you're referring to something that happened 20 years ago. It has been less than a decade for me, but what makes it even more special is the fact that I never identified with being a victim until a year ago.
