In this courageous video Leslie Morgan Steiner talks about domestic violence. It is a problem nobody wants to talk about or admit. And it is the silence that allows this problem to thrive. One in three women in the US have experienced some form of domestic violence or has been victims of stalking. At the heart of the issue is the question: Why did she not leave? Leslie Morgan answers this and explains the stages of domestic violence. This allows us to recognize the pattern, the warning signs, and the dangers. She also explains that the best way to end the situation of domestic violence is to break the silence. Talk to the police, to neighbors, talk to family and friends, talk to your co-workers, and even talk to strangers.
Leslie’s story shows that it is possible for victims of domestic violence to rebuild their lives. It is not necessary to remain trapped in “crazy love”. There is hope and love waiting for all and we must do our part to move towards it. We must break the silence. Please like and share and spread this message.
I COMMEND THIS AWESOME LADY- LESLIE MORGAN STEINER FOR SHARING SUCH A TRAGIC , ABUSED LIFE WITH EVERYONE ! I APPLAUD HER STRENGTH IN RELAYING THE MEMORIES ( THAT MOST WOMEN WOULD DESPERATELY TRY TO FORGET) TO THE AUDIENCE AND TO PEOPLE SUCH AS MYSELF WATCHING FROM A COMPUTER. I ACTUALLY STUMBLED ACROSS THIS WHILE ON A FACEBOOK SITE. AND I FEEL IT IS SO IMPORTANT AND POSSIBLY LIFE SAVING…THAT I AM GOING TO SHARE IT ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE. I, MYSELF HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO NEVER EXPERIENCE SUCH A TERRIFYING , HORRIBLE EVENT IN MY LIFE….ALTHOUGH, UPON LISTENING TO LESLIE’S STORY….I CAN SEE SOME SIGNS THAT IN MY PAST WITH DIFFERENT BOYFRIENDS WERE INDEED, VERY QUESTIONABLE. IN FACT, I COULD HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS SAME SCENARIO AS HERS HAD I NOT DECIDED QUICKLY TO GET AWAY FROM AT LEAST TWO DIFFERENT MEN THAT HAD SIMULARITIES TO HER ABUSIVE HUSBAND ! I NOW AT THIS MOMENT LOOK BACK AND PRAISE MY DEAR FATHER GOD THAT HE INTERCEEDED IN MY LIFE. BUT ALSO I WILL MENTION THAT ONE OF MY SISTERS ENDURED DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH HER LIFE THAT SHE INCOUNTERED MEN THAT WERE PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE TO HER . I PRAY THAT WOMEN ALL OVER THE WORLD WILL SEE AND TRULY LISTEN TO WHAT LESLIE HAS SAID. I FEEL CERTAIN THAT THERE ARE MANY THAT ENDURE THIS BECAUSE THEY FEEL ALONE…MYBE BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL PROBLEMS , OR POSSIBLY BECAUSE THEY (DESERVE) THIS TREATMENT. BUT THE TRUE FACT IS NO ONE SHOULD EVER PUT UP WITH ABUSIVENESS IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE !!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU DEAR LESLIE, AND IT MAKES MY HEART SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU GOT AWAY …AND NOW HAVE A GOOD LIFE !! GLORY TO GOD !! I PRAY THAT ALL WHO LISTEN TO THIS VIDEO..IF THIS IS EVEN REMOTELY WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH, OR IF THERE ARE SIGNS OF SUCH…..WILL GET AWAY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE !! THERE ARE MANY TEMPORARY HOMES SET UP FOR THIS, WITH TRAINED PEOPLE TO HELP THESE DEAR WOMEN START A NEW LIFE. AND I PRAY ALSO THAT THEY WILL PUT THE LORD IN THEIR LIVES FIRST…BEFORE A MAN. BECAUSE GOD IS TRUE TO HIS WORD ! AND WITH A MAN …IT IS UNCERTAIN. GOD BLESS EVERYONE !!!! <3
