What follows on these pages, are some poems written by me, (Becki) throughout years of abuse. Not always physical, sometimes it was verbal,
but while wounds heal within time, the scars of the words spoken to me
were etched deep onto my soul, possibly never to be healed.

It is my hope that those who are led to this site, will gain strength from the words I wrote. There is hope, and just when you think you have no strength left to fight the battle, dig down deep, it might just be that one, final, strand of hope that will gain you the strength to walk away.

You will find an occasional reference to my being in jail. Being abused made my self confidence, non-existant. In my constant search for a way to feel some type of power,
I got in some trouble. In addition to my own mistakes, the Judicial system in the early 90's was blind. I was jailed for defending myself, (several times) against an abuser who had a restraining order in effect, but came after me anyway!
All things happen for a reason though, and it was there, in jail, that I met a wonderful psychologist who convinced me that what I was living with, was neither normal, nor acceptable behavior. For that, I must be grateful.
