The Enemy Within: Do You Really Know Your Mate?

Enemy: Someone who hates and wants to harm or destroy another. What happens when we think we know the person that sleeps beside us? When the day comes that this person puts their hands on you, calls you names, makes you feel like crap, has you second guessing yourself and not even trusting your own judgement. He or she makes you think that you are a bad parent and a horrible friend all in the same sentence. They tear you down just to build you back up. I mean your self esteem is shot, you look at yourself as if your not good enough to love, your not smart enough, and that you deserve the way they have treated you. Now your sleeping with the enemy and it doesn't feel good or safe. What do you do? Do you stay? Do you fight? Do you end the relationship or do you work it out? If you stay, you run the risk of the abuse happening again. If you fight your both going to jail, only if you get caught though. If you end the relationship then you wonder whether or not you should have tried to work it out or if they would change, could change or even wanted to change. If this has never happened to you, then it's hard to be on the outside looking in and say what you would or wouldn't do. I mean you fight or flight: Meaning you either stay or you leave. Only you can say when enough is enough and only you know when your really and truly ready to move on with your life. Once you make that decision they no longer have that power over you and they can longer take your joy away from you. Remember that abuse can be emotional, mental, verbal, and physical. Never let anyone tell you that just because it was mental, verbal, or emotional it wasn't abuse. Abuse is abuse and it's wrong no matter who's doing the abusing(male or female). I'm Raven Storm and I have no intentions of sleeping with the enemy anymore! Randomly Yours, Raven Storm!
