My Freedom
June 2021 was the month and year I had finally, had enough mental and physical abuse from the boy, now I say boy because a real man would never hurt a woman. That said he loved me, the sperm donor to my children, the boy that was supposed to protect me from the world. I wasted 21 years of my precious life loving, caring, and putting his needs first just to be broken and beaten down to almost nothing. The only problem for him was he picked the wrong women to defeat. Yes, I was mentally broken, and my body scared from almost daily beatings but what he couldn't do was put out the Italian fire burning through my veins. I CAN NOT BE DEFEATED!!! I REFUSE TO BE DEFEATED!! On my knees crying prayer to God to give me the strength to leave and not come back. In the past I had left but would believe him that he had changed and I would feel sorry for him. I always felt the need to show him love and support over me feeling loved and supported. That June day God answered my prayers. I got my own townhouse, rented a big U-Haul truck called the police and packed everything I could for my two sons and I to leave and be free. Months later living on our own I was scared, broke, depressed, and tired but I WAS FREE! I got a second job cleaning house for extra cash and before you know it, we were thriving. I entered a modeling contest for a boudoir photo shoot and won. When asked what props I wanted to use one thing came to mind. This is our FREEDOM. What did I use... The American Flag!! So, cheers to our freedom and the next chapter of our lives.
