		<description>Yeah.  What Maggie said.  And Tom.  And the rest.  The story is yours to tell, or not to tell.  Not his, not his family&#039;s, &lt;i&gt;yours&lt;/i&gt;.

But &lt;b&gt;do not&lt;/b&gt; jeopardize your safety to do it.

Just know that there&#039;s a whole community of people who support you.  We might not recognize you if we tripped over you on the street, but we support you.  You are anything but alone in this.

And that&#039;s true whether you spill or don&#039;t.

		<description>Do not - DO NOT - seek the treasure.
Or do anything that isn&#039;t safe / that you aren&#039;t 110% comfortable with. 

You can pour your heart out on any one of 100 domestic violence message boards out there. Change your nickname to RapidCedars and type, type, type.

Or use my blog as a filter. You can guest blog and we won&#039;t link to anything that can be traced. We have several common readers...they&#039;ll find you.

Go to the shelter, get up on a soap box, and WITNESS, Sister...untraceably. Is that a word? You know what I mean.

Priorities:
1. Safety.
2. Sanity.
3. Helping Others.

DO NOT confuse them. We love you. You love us. We&#039;ll find you.

		<description>I believe the phrase over there, to be used when discussing people of little consequence, is: &quot;meh&quot;.  (Did I get it right?)

Don&#039;t give this oxygen-thief any thought.  Any bloke who thinks he can raise his hand to a lady is beneath contempt.

		<description>It&#039;s really, really important that you (and others) think about this stuff. Speaking out is very empowering, but safety has to come first. 

That said, yes, you can make your Facebook information private and make sure you don&#039;t accept him or one of his friends as a friend of yours. Also remember not to respond to any potential message sent through Facebook, because when you do that that person can see your entire profile for one month whether or not you are friends. In many ways Facebook is the devil. :)

You can also submit your story anonymously, as a couple others have done.

As for your memories, all that you cannot remember is part of the story itself -- you know? The places your brain goes dark, that&#039;s OK. It only further illustrates just how traumatic these events were.

Doubting the validity of your experience, worrying that he may one day argue semantics with you, these are very normal thoughts. VERY normal. Please don&#039;t beat yourself up over them.

What happened to you was wrong. Believe.

		<description>Dory,
I agree with the above comment. Don&#039;t give him any more space in your head. You have your boys and Hunky and your blog is making a difference. In short, you have a life, and he&#039;s not allowed in. You&#039;re past him. Beyond him.
However, I *would* learn some basic self-defense moves and give your boys permission to whack the Girlbeater with a baseball bat should he, by any chance, show up at your house.
Don&#039;t let him run your life. It&#039;s YOUR life now. Living well is the best revenge. (The second-best revenge is whacking him with a baseball bat, but that&#039;s probably not gonna happen. Even though it would be justifiable.)
Stay strong, girl.

		<description>You can even set your picture and your name to private! You are one hella strong woman that took steps to make a better life for yourself and get away from an abuser. I am very proud of you and you should always stand tall and know you did the right thing, the best thing, you moved away and moved on. Love ya girl! Keep your chin up and just know karma is on your side and once he is convicted he will be gone for a long time again. Don&#039;t let him get to you, there are enough of us around we can make sure you will always be safe, that is what family and friends are for :) ;)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m so, so sorry. Don&#039;t disappear. You can set your facebook profile to private and make it so only your name would be available to him (should he search for you)
