The Shadow of the Scorned

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, between 1998 and 2002:

Of the almost 3.5 million violent crimes committed against family members, 49% of these were crimes against spouses.

84% of spouse abuse victims were females, and 86% of victims of dating partner abuse at were female.

Males were 83% of spouse murderers and 75% of dating partner murderers

50% of offenders in state prison for spousal abuse had killed their victims. Wives were more likely than husbands to be killed by their spouses: wives were about half of all spouses in the population in 2002, but 81% of all persons killed by their spouse.

My only desire is to help someone that has lived what I lived throught. I understand if you are living a "living hell," that is how it realy feels. I encourage you to seek help if you have been a victim of abuse or are in the present being abused. There are many resources and organizations that are there to help you. God is in your side and the authority that God stablished in your town and state, are on your side.

There is always hope. Don't give up. God has a plan for your life. You have the right to live happy and fulfilled.
