If you're read my book you'll notice that I've been married twice. I learned a long time ago after marriage that you need to know someone before you marry them, or at least give yourself time to get to know them before you tie the knots. I learned the hard way that my first wife had an anger management problem and when she got mad she would start hitting me. Mind you she didn't do this while we were courting, but it soon came after the I do's. I took this off and on beating, the pushing down the steps, the hitting me upside my head with a glass object for several years until I broke and finally fought back, and then I got into trouble with the law because I had never said anything about her beating me. I said to myself, which was wrong of me that she was only doing it because her father had the same problem and beat her mom years ago before they divorced.  Well I think that's what all victims think or make excuses about.  I myself watched my father abuse my mom too, and made a promise that I would never do that, but I'll admit that after three or four years of that I snapped one time and regretted ever since.  

The thing I didn't realize is that that seed along with other mess was in me and I didn't even realize it till years later. And when other mess was building up in me, or as Pastor Larry Watkins put it, when Satan slow walked me into my mess, instead of being abused I became the abuser.I'm glad God slowed me down, forgave me and put me here to help others and get the word out that domestic abuse, sexual abuse and all the other abuse is REAL.
