<div>I feel very strongly on this subject - not bcoz I am/was in a live-in relationship but I was married & am now happily divorced - came out of a very sick arranged marriage bearly able to pull myself together. I do not want any girl to experience what I have been through. If it is in me toprevent any girl from going through theexperience that I have been through, I would gladly help.
I salute you and trust me this is the proper salute (I was in the military) for being strong and getting out of a horrible situation. I just hope that there were more women like you who stood up for their rights.
I wasn't in a abusive relationship but I have seen my mother suffer, she has been married to my dad for 42 years and I don't think she even had one month of peace or happiness in all those years. My sis and I too had to suffer as we saw our mother suffer. We went through emotional abuse, financial abuse, metal abuse and contrary to popular belief physical abuse in not the only abuse that people suffer through.
So I understand your view.
Well done.
