1.5 Stay strong, never give up
If you are in an abusive relationship, know that you are worth more. Stay strong, because the answers to find a way out will become clear. Plan before you decide to leave. You have to protect yourself and your children. Never give up on yourself due to the sick games and manipulation of an abusive partner. Know your worth, and stand your ground. Be safe, and stay strong.
Do not be naive to think that the laws of your country can protect you. You will have to plan and take measures to ensure your own safety. Every step you take from this point forward is in your own hands. A protection order does not mean that your abuser will not try to get close to you. You need to be your own protector.
Women are supposed to be loved, not killed due to a sick obsession in the name of love. I believe that women are capable of taking care of themselves. We are much stronger than we think. We can overcome anything, if we put our mind to it.
While you are still breathing, there is hope. It does not matter if you are unemployed or uneducated. With a little hard work and willpower, anyone can change their lives for the better. All it takes is the decision to start.
Isaiah 43:1, 7: “But now, this is what the LORD says –
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
… everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.’”
