Reading another thread, I got thinking about this - does anyone ever wish it had been different? I don't mean wishing it hadn't happened, but that it had happened in a different way?
For example, I wasn't beaten badly, I came out of it with only a few cuts and bruises, but sometimes I find myself wishing they'd done more damage to me. I guess I feel like if they'd put me in the hospital, it would all have been out of my hands - I couldn't have hidden it from my family and friends, and no one would doubt my story. I feel terrible for thinking this, because it's like I'm jealous of people who had a worse experience than me when I should be thankful that I got away so lightly.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ramble so much. But I was just wondering if anyone else has stories to tell about this kind of thing?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Take care Deb
but then i find that thinking about it is frustrating because i cant do anything about it now and i should have just said at the time.
I fear that people will not believe my story as I am not battered and bruised, and will wonder why I did not fight him all the way. It sounds awful but in the day after it happened, before I told anyone, I even considered roughing my face up to make sure I was believed. I'm ashamed the thought crossed my mind now but have realised that if those I love do not believe me, then they are not the people I thought they were.
Do not feel bad about this as you and I know that our injuries are more than skin deep and as such will take a lot longer to heal.
I'm sending you a hug! D x
