Walk away.
Let your heart pound.
Let your palms sweat
Let your blood roar.
Let chills and fever have their way.
Let panic shriek and sob, then
sneak what you cannot live without
– babies, tees, diapers, bread, tampons --
for a time, then
call a shelter, call a friend, then
Walk away.

What's Good About Anger
Safety Alert for Battered Women: Computer use can be monitored and it is impossible to completely clear information viewed on the Internet from your computer. If you are in danger, please use a safer computer, call your local hotline, and/or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
1) Call the police and tell them the whole story. Make them listen. Do not leave anything out;
2) Go to a woman's shelter. Stay until safety is certain;
3) Or m o v e to another town. Preferably one that is far away. Time
for a fresh start!
4) Face that you will stay scared for awhile. Remember that courage is
not lack of fear, but facing one's fear and moving ahead anyway.
5) Remember that the abuser is almost certain to abuse others. Just
a matter of time!
6) Keep in touch with us at Angels That Care.
7) Say to yourself : "I am a lot stronger than I have been giving myself
credit for. Every step I take away from a person who talks Love and acts
Hate will make me stronger. Being stronger, I will be able to make a
good life for myself. I will be able to help others do so.".
8) Repeat the above statement -- aloud and to yourself -- several times
a day.
9) Keep a stiff upper lip and make sure you have good locks.
10) Listen to those who r e a l l y love you!!

PLEASE SUPPORT THE LAUNCH OF THIS BOOK IN ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN!!!
IT IS A BOOK DESIGNED TO BRING THE MALE SPECIES TO THEIR SENSES AND TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT THEY HAVE TOO EASILY JUST FORCED ON TO THE LADIES.
I BELIEVE IT IS A BOOK EVERY LADY SHOULD READ AND BE LIFTED UP TO BE THAT SPECIAL PERSON.
I have also attached a letter requesting you to support my soon to be released book (Knock; Knock Who’s There?) by giving exposure in your book store. The book is to exposing the downfall of the family unit because of the weak supporting role the male is prepared to play. It gives encouragement to all our ladies to be who God intended them to be and have the dignity and respect they deserve.
