domestic-violence

When It comes to speaking up for yourself, what is your biggest fear? Mine used to be that my late husband would haul off and start hitting me. The Late Harry Leo Duran, MD, PH.D., MPH never really tried to stifle a rage attack. They’d come on, so he claimed, by INTRUSIVE thoughts. I can’t say if I believe that. He’d be in his room (We NEVER shared one or I’d be dead by now) and out of the blue come charging into whatever space (outside even) that I was in and start punching, kicking, screaming, ranting, etc.

BUT he’s dead. And now I can stand up for myself and speak out and not let anyone ever bully me again.

BUT WHY did you let him do that, you ask?

Because he had vowed to track me down and kill our dogs, cats, my late aunt, our friend Mart, burn the house down, and torture me to death.

BUT why didn’t you get a restraining order, run away?

There’s an author friend I made back in 2002 who fled Washington, D.C. for California. Her husband murdered several people in her old neighborhood searching for her.

THE survivors and relatives BLAMED HER for fleeing.

YOU should have just let him KILL you they said.

Yeah, restraining orders don’t work and when someone goes on a rampage, you can’t stop it. Ask Mildred Muhammad, there’s an entire documentary about what happened when she ran.

Watch the last video about my two time international best selling author who is just happens to be my editor and someone who I call friend! Then ask me more questions so before the book comes, out I can make sure readers aren’t left hanging.
