Published

A lot of women stuck in abusive relationships find it difficult to get out on time. As a result more and more women lose their lives or even lose their children or families in the process.

The problem most of them have is that they have been brainwashed into thinking that they are useless without their abusers. This in turn leads to them going through a hellish situation that dents them badly for a long time.

Recently a woman shared the horrific abuse her mother went through that tragically led to her death. The woman said her mother was abused by her father for many years until he stabbed her to death thirty seven times and slit her throat.

Today she is an advocate against abuse and has spoken at countless schools and public events to raise awareness against abuse.

Read her story below;

“Far too many people are suffering in domestic abuse situations that they can’t get out of. How do I know this? I will tell you….I had a father whose obsession and control resulted in a recipe for disaster. Thirty seven stab wounds, and a slit throat took my mother’s life. Domestic Violence is a common problem.

What people don’t realize is that it happens to one in four women, and that women are not the only ones being abused. It is important for all of you to be aware that abuse may be happening to friends, family and people you love, without you even knowing it.

If you pay attention….the bruise or black eye your friend shows up with may actually be the result of physical abuse. He or she may laugh about it by saying “oh this is nothing. I must have ran into something”. Victims are ashamed and will likely play down their situation, and they can be very convincing that nothing is wrong.

This is why it is so important that you know that you CAN do something to help. People wonder why victims don’t leave their situation, however it isn’t always that easy. The abuser is not a stranger….the abuser usually an intimate partner, the one that is supposed to love and protect you. Many people are convinced that they can’t leave, and that they in fact did something to deserve the abuse.

My name is Haylee Reay, I was 12 when I my life changed forever. When we finally went to trial for the murder of my mother, I was told that my own dad was blaming me. It is now my mission to make people aware of the violence that happens behind closed doors. What happened to my family and me has changed my life and it will always affect me. I will always miss my mom and I will always wonder what my life would have been like if my dad had not made the choice to do what he did to us.

But I refuse to be just a victim. And I would like to tell other people not to be a victim either. You can’t control what other people will do to you, but you can choose how to react to what somebody does to you. You can use someone else’s actions as an excuse not to go on. You can use someone else’s actions as an excuse to drink or do drugs. You can say you are the way you are because of what someone else did to you. But those are just excuses.

You can also make a choice to live your life the way you want to live your life. You don’t have to let what somebody else did control your life. That’s what I have chosen to do. Although I sometimes wish that things were different, I love the life that I have. I get to choose the path that I want to take in life. What my dad did to my mom and me and my family doesn’t change that.

No matter what has happened in your life, you can make that same choice. Since everything happened, I have spoken to thousands of different people at schools or events. I have been actively involved in raising awareness for dating abuse. I have been on the National Youth Advisory Board for loveisrespect.org for almost five years now.

My mom will forever be my hero, and I miss her terribly, but I can’t bring her back. However what I can do is be her voice… I encourage each of you to take part in spreading the word about dating violence awareness”!
