Domestic Violence

There was a time in my life when domestic violence took a big place.

I grew up in a domestic violence home, a house full of arguments, anxiety and despair. This was an occasion I been through. It was a Friday night Naomi and I was partying all night, drunk out of our mind. On arriving home, we started arguing usually about other females. This led to her feeling as though she could lay her hands on me.

Now know this with all the traumatizing events in my life I told myself I would not lay a hand on a female but just then I felt fist pounding, nails scratching, blood oozing from my face. I repeated multiple times to stop, no remorse was shown. I pushed away and she just retracted back to me like a spring. I grabbed her and she punched me in my nose. Just then, I bled and anger filled my eyes. Two swings landed and boom - out cold, emotionless.

Once realization hit me I realized what I’ve done and I cried like a baby and asked for forgiveness. This came from her saying she knows I wouldn’t hit her so she took advantage and I just exploded but realized soon that was not the answer.

Domestic violence is not only physical harm. It can be mental, physical, verbal. Domestic violence can be caused by trauma like events in life or you can be sick and can’t control yourself.

There is always a way to help yourself overcome domestic violence.
