She grew up rich, loved, and still was with a man who didn't respect her. I'm glad she came forward, because some people think DV is just a poverty-related issue.

I experienced DV for 25 years. It started as verbal and ended physical. He was my husband and I loved him. He busted my ear in front of my children and his mother. That was the final straw. I left with 2 of my younger sons who are on the spectrum. I was taken to the emergency room at 2 in the morning. I stayed in a hotel room for 3 days with the last bit of money I had. Stayed in a DV shelter for 2 years. In those two years I had a therapist she helped me to help my self. I had ptsd I was always looking over my shoulder. It was haarrrd especially with two special needs sons. I made it.

Yes that’s when you lay down your boundaries FIRM. Once they see you won’t allow the verbal abuse, then they will not dare progress to touching you.

NO ONE deserves to be mistreated, NO ONE has the right to mistreat you. Please know this women and men.

You’re not alone. Break the silence and speak your truth. Leave and don’t look back. My therapist told me to “stick to the facts”. Think with your mind and not your emotions.

I experienced DV with my ex 3 years ago and had absolutely no-one but God to lean on. My own mother turn and me and stated that i was lying. I had quickly removed myself from the situation but because I dealt with it alone, it took me 3 years to overcome it.

Thank for you sharing your story. I knew it was time to go and never turn back when the person said “ hahah I may have given you HIV and you are stuck with me. No one is going to want you” Btw I got tested and I’m good

I hate when people assume you like it. You already feel the guilt of I’m going through this because something wrong with me. I suffered from a toxic relationship for years. I’m out of it but the invisible bruises remain.

After suffering 15years of unhealthy relationships I made the choice to abstain from sex until marriage as part of my journey towards healing and recovery. Suffering sexual, physical, or verbal abuse takes something away from our being and diminishes our sense/knowledge of worth and value; but choosing celibacy has been so empowering and rewarding. I recall the story of Job in the Bible how the enemy took from Job but in the end God granted restoration and gave Job twice as much as he had before. I said that to say, for me choosing abstinence was a godly decision. Losses, in Job's case were tangible things, his wealth and family. But loss can also be emotional and spiritual so after choosing abstinence I gained and was empowered, by the grace and restoration of God, dignity, integrity, self respect, faith, hope, love, healing, courage, virtue and strength that was lost or never had over the course of time prior to choosing abstinence. Also, I was given a talent for writing poetry that I hope will inspire others in their walk. It documents my journey in a way that others may relate but my hope is that men and women will know and appreciate worth within themselves and one another that compels a belief that "I'm worth waiting for" and "you're worth waiting for." Choosing abstinence is so worth the wait because of what is gained in the process. Proverbs 31:10 says "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.” So I encourage everyone to embrace the virtue of abstaining from sex until marriage #KnowYourWorth YOU ARE WORTH WAITING FOR! No matter what you've experienced or are experiencing, Jesus loves you and his is a love that conquers and creates life anew💞 Elementsofvirtuecollection.wordpress.com Poetry That Inspires #ImCelibate #Battlefield #RemnantsOfMe #OnceInALifetime

I've been through it. I had my eye punched to the point they had to use ophthalmology equipment to turn my eye ball back right. I've had my head punched so many times. I got him arrested and went to a domestic violence shelter. He's the father of my two youngest kids. He passed away a few months ago. The violence ended a few years ago.

It truly take courage @ Latonia Jackson! I’m glad you got away. I’ve experienced mental & verbal abuse w/n a 16 year marriage and I just walked away after 12 years. I thought to myself I have to do this for my daughter, she doesn’t deserve to see her mother like this. Plus she needs me. And my support group helped me to realize how “strong “ of a woman I really am. Since then I promised myself i’d NEVER let myself experience something like that EVER again!! And it’s helped me tremendously!!

Thank you for sharing!! Domestic Violence includes Verbal abuse, emotional abuse , financial abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse (someone cheating on you), etc. They are not separate!!

Some guys are very abusive and insecure!!

Thank you for putting this out here. I just made it out of 15 years of abuse and I’m taking it one day at a time. Thank you so much for being real because so many want to judge instead of the support!

I can relate! The only advice that i can personally give is take your time healing. You might be feeling okay for 3-6mos but the moment you get into a relationship and enter that first official argument, you may find yourself responding in old ways. So take your time, love yourself through the process and allow yourself to learn more about yourself with adapting and changing .

This needs to be highlighted more and when the children are involved it's a lot harder

Thank u for sharing your story ! I was married to my first abuser for almost 5 years until he put his hands on my daughter , our daughter and I ran for our lives .. moved 750 miles away and found another abusive situation just as worse , 5 years , 3 miscarriages, guns being pulled on me and I finally got out ... I’m 57 years old now and this all started when I got married at 21 ... I’ve never trusted anyone else to have a normal loving relationship so I seem to seek out younger guys who I’m pretty sure won’t commit to me for fear of ending up in another bad situation.. I still can’t talk about all of this without crying ...I know I need therapy but I’m self employed and have no insurance as of yet .. I’ve been a great mom of 3 , as best as I could be ..with a 5 year old grandson I adore ..I’m ok with being alone , I just wish I had made better choices in my life .. when I heal I’d love to help others who have been where I’m at ...

To all the woman out there you are loved & You are ENOUGH stay focused, and never lose who you are, that’s red flag. Abuse can be in all angles. Be careful and know yourself. • Verbal • Mentally • Physically • Spiritually • Financially • Emotional All these are in different categories but can be a nightmare, I Love you all stay away from NARSISSTIC men they will never change ever🥺😏

I was in an abusive marriage myself and I have been divorced for almost 12 years now. In 2019, I wrote and published a book about my life and I detail my marriage….My Book is called, “A Jealous Person Will Kill You, Literally!”

Thank so much! It’s tough, especially when my ex-husband is dragging me in the courts.. it’s like reliving everything again. “Not only did you verbal, emotionally and mentally abuse me in front of my kids, now you are building a case against me like I’m not a good mom.. 🥲.

Thank you for sharing your story Angela. This episode was super powerful and it touched my soul! My niece, just yesterday, was beat up by her child’s father and there is a warrant out for his arrest. My sister and her dad got her into another apartment and had her moved completely out last night. I’m several states away and wish I was there but my sister said that she and her dad has everything handled. I just want to be there to just hug and love on her and the baby. I don’t want to say anything negative about the boy I just want my niece to seek therapy. I want her to know none of this is her fault and that I’m here for her if she needs anything. My heart hurts so much.

I have been there and unless you go through something like that, you truly don't/won't get it. I have been able to help many of my Soldiers through situations and the hardest part was not taking my own advice. For anyone going through any type of abuse, GET HELP! I was able to get stronger mentally by going through a therapy program and it has helped tremendously...as one continues to heal, continue to seek help.

I’m listening and like Wow !!! 😡 Can’t understand why a man would have the need to put his hands on a woman 🤷🏾‍♂️ People really don’t understand the impact of domestic violence. I’m so so sorry that you had to go through that !! I want to apologize to you Ms Simmons for your experience for it was not a representation of what real men do. 🙏🏾 So often in urban communities we have so many undiagnosed mental health issues and so many condoned behaviors that it becomes generational almost like a cultural conditioning if you will. You’re on point about the variations of domestic violence. The worst feeling in the world is to have someone that says they love you to tear you down and dehumanize you and make you feel unworthy and not enough. People don’t realize that Verbal abuse will tear you up , it’ll mess with your self esteem, your confidence and self with if you allow it , it’ll imprint what they impose to the point where you begin to believe it. Ive seen so many good people hurt and are not able to cope some turning to alcoholism, narcotics substances and over all unconscious behaviors because of someone else. However though domestic abuse is not limited to women !! Men are domestically abused and often times you’ll never know !! Men , know the signs of verbal abuse . I saw this growing up with my parent’s. I talk about it in my new book . In addition I experienced domestic abuse as a man . Men are more abused than you think !! We just so big and bad that we don’t want to tell nobody that she treated you bad ? I can talk about it as a man because I’ve been there !! I’ve been in situations and stayed in the name of love after being treated horribly. Being made to feel like I wasn’t enough , being made to feel like I had to compete with every other person of what I was supposed to be that just being a husband. I had to be homeless, and experience some real life stuff for me to come to the realization that I needed to open up . You can’t hold on to what your going through you have to seek help and or have a tight self care , self regulatory program where you’re growing through it .This is mental health Month folks please don’t go another minute in a bad situation!! Seek help !! Seek refuge also stay locked in to Ms. Simmons I’m commenting because I can identify and I’ve done the work and know 1st hand that with the right resources you can turn your life around in no time. Prayers up for anyone going through domestic violence and prayers to anyone who lost someone due to domestic violence 🙏🏾 !! #GreatVideo 💪🏽 #GodBless 🤍

Adrian, you are correct with your observations. Many individuals are unable to cope with the traumas of emotional psychological and physical abuse they have experienced in a relationship. The hidden costs of this are as you say alcoholism substance abuse and the deterioration of the physical and emotional well-being which in itself can lead to many types of health issues.

emotional abuse exacerbated my anxiety-(that i didn't know i had) i used to have at least 1 breakdown a yr and not know why. i can remember some of the things he has said to me and still cry or i can feel the tingling in my hands and stomach from how he would aggressively handle me. we officially stopped dealing with each other last year we met in 2006/7

Tony Gaskin talked about this. He said it goes in three stages: I think the 1st is basics jabs like talkin slightly bad about you to your face or something than if you don’t check thtt it goes to 2. Emotional abuse (Thts when he purposely leaves his phone so you see the text from the other gal or runnin to the other room to ans a phone call and if you don’t check tht it or get out then it 3. Stage three physical abuse

My advice would be to create as much space and time as possible as fast as possible in the safest way. Put your pride to the side and ask questions.

I think I will speak about mine also one day on my platform. Thanks for this, I know it wasn't easy, but it's greatly appreciated.💯💕👑

Angela I remember watching you grow up on tv with your family on Run’s House and you are beautiful young woman. Be grateful for your past journey and your journey to your divine purpose. Keep evolving into the woman God is preparing you to be.🙏🏾❤️ I know your family is proud of you❤️

I love what angel was thinking about she was thinking about the right thing some time people do need some help with the violence and need to stop with it do the right thing guys

Thank you for talking about it and being transparent I experienced this over 27 years ago. I was in denial for along time but like you said it is not your job to fix them. I thought if I loved him hard enough it would change, it didn’t. I finally left, never taking that kind of treatment again. Now happily married 23 years. Ladies you don’t deserve it, you don’t have to take it, you are enough. ❤️

Abuse no matter kind is never okay period. My daughter’s father was more verbally and emotionally abusive to me. He had the nerve and the audacity to tell me that there was no such thing as verbal and emotional abuse because I couldn’t call the police on him because of the way he was talking to me. He said that to justify and condone his actions because he was a manipulative narcissistic energy vampire. Once again abuse is abuse and just because it’s not always physical does not make it okay.

Was there for 15 years and 16 later I have been free and am strong 💪

Agree Jasmin. I AM FREE🙏🏽❤️

First in for most I have to commend you Angela for being so verbal and transparent about your situation given others the opportunity to live in the truth about there situations. Especially to allow them to think and understand what they’re actually going through without having shame, nor guilty not feeling embarrassed, not feeling stuck, not feeling mentally or financially dependent, not being manipulated into staying in a relationship. Allowing themselves to take the necessary steps into get their life back together. Having total control of what they want to shape and mold there future into. Understanding stop trying to fix the other person thinking that’ll fix the relationship and everything will be better it’s not sometimes the best thing for your own sanity in life is too remove yourself from the situation and allow it to take it’s course. Because life is too precious to allow somebody to take yours and do what they want or just simply take your life. Also let’s not forget there’s not only women that are victimized in a domestic violence situation. There actually a lot more men out here that’s going through the same thing but are to embarrassed and ashamed. I hope that your platform will welcome them as well everybody deserve to have clarity and a good mental stability to achieve happiness. So yes therapy and life coach is definitely a plus because you can be transparent and vulnerable without feeling judged. Keep up the great work Angela this is very detrimental to society in this day and age just turn on the news and you’re going to have a full understanding.

Thank you Angela!!!!

This was an eye opener ! Angela Simmons "You have blessed so many "Women " that have been trapped in Domestic Violence; and I am soooo grateful for your boldness & courage to inspire others to seek for help!! Praise the Lord for your honesty!!! Ps. The world would be a better place, if we as women would reach out for help!!! May God bless you always is my prayer! Thanks again! Respectful yours, DonNita Byers-Key 👌🙌💗🙏😊✌️

Sorry is a Sorry word; it's the first sign of trouble on the horizon. LOVE Yourself and know your worth!! Being alone wont kill you! Waiting on "God" to send you "Real Love" is "Worth" the wait❣ You'll know it's "Real" because you wont have to "Chase" it❣...I'm still single...and only had one relationship headed toward abuse...I shut it down🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I experienced it and I had to move to another country because he was trying to kill me and my unborn child. That experience made me focus on my career and not be with anyone. To any woman out there, it doesn’t matter the material, money you will get it all back. Your kids need their mama not burying them and be with out you. The world is very cruel these days. Make a plan, tell someone you trust, get professional help and leave.

I've lost 3 cousins due to domestic violence. They were killed and all had kids who are dealing with the trauma. I'm glad you were able to get out. To be able to forgive and still not release a name speaks volumes about you/ your character. Because I know I wouldn't be able to

Thank you for sharing your story! I’m a survivor myself! Overcoming Domestic Violence is the goal! The word ABUSE is not a positive one, to anyone who’s overthinking if it’s okay or not!

This deserves millions of views. Im so impressed by Angela. I didn’t know she’d evolve into such an inspirational, strong mother, human, and entrepreneur from watching her on Runs House.

Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable. It’s tough to be vulnerable just being a regular person, so I know that was hard for you ❤️. Been there before, 7 years of domestic abuse. But God, I made it out 🙏🏾. God bless you. I don’t know you at all, but I think this girl is authentically beautiful.

I am experiencing all of it with no support system from family at all this is the most hurtful thing I've ever experienced

Please stay strong🙏🏾 I was in the same boat it will get better

As a therapist and life coach, this is a great video to send to my clients. Thanks for your transparency and courage. I'm grateful you left and advocate therapy. God bless.

❤️ A real man and godly man will never put his hands on any woman. It’s very important to have a strong foundation in God when getting to know someone and getting to know their background; many people are under generational curses and operating with wicked spirits. When Jesus Christ is the Head center of an friendship and marriage, wisdom of God will bless the union. No prayer No power! My sisters pray and fast for a godly man. Thank you Angela for sharing your testimony!

I am so proud you are using your platform to encourage women that are in abusive relationship.

I was in it for 8 yrs. Thinking its not that bad, I can handle it, he will change. It never did.

It’s more of a spiritual warfare! When women and men abuse one another only means God was never in the relationship! I feel that it’s so important to pull God in the space of where your relationship lies!! Without God we can’t fight our demons which is why we all need to put God first! I am married to an amazing man of God because what we lose God restores! Amen 🙏🏾 be blessed 😇

MAY GOD CONTINUE TO USE YOU, TO BE A LIGHT TO THOSE LIVING IN A DARK PLACE 🙏💯

Thanks for sharing story👏🏾. Domestic violence doesn't discriminate with race, class, etc. Therapy is key to growth, journaling also helps with self reflection ❤️

You don't realise what you are going through until you LEAVE. ✅Most times when your love ones notice the signs and point them out. You feel the need to dig your heels in 💯

This will Help A lot of Us that have experienced this hurt

Good day just came across your channel I love you.This is a excellent video for young and old.I as a psychologist I can tell you have to put God first and seek professional help.Thanks for sharing Angela blessings.

Thanks for sharing your story.

This video spoke to me in so many ways... i just posted my domestic violence story on my channel in hopes of doing the same thing, inspiring women to get out of horrible situations and that we all deserve love. I'm happy you were able to overcome and heal from that relationship.
