My Journey Through Domestic Violence
November 122009
This video is my life through domestic violence, some of the pictures on the video are very graphic or heart wrenching. the songs used are dedications to people special in my life as the end of the video states. My story is a reason why guns need to be taken away from abusers and not left in their hands.

No it isn’t her …
No it isn’t her fault,just only a mental midget would have carried on and acted the way she did. It stated “He hated the twins from the moment they were conceived” any rational, sane person with a brain cell would have gotten out then. Yes, he shouldn’t have gotten her pregnant, but when he did and he still hated them. Someone had to be the responsible adult. Look at that guy, he looks exactly like the kind of white trash miscreant that would do exactly what he did but she was surprised ?

SHE ruined their lives? you are a truly evil, stupid man. you shouldnt be allowed to exist on this planet.if you were not listening everything was fine with him in the beginning. he “loved” their first son. how could she have anticipated the father of her children would try to murder her and her kids?and because he did not want them, its HER fault he tryed to kill them? ifhedidntwantthemheshould have left her and not knocked her up! youarejustasbadasthisman. yourideas areappallinganddisgusting.

Of course, he had …
Of course, he had no right to do what he did. It also goes without saying, children are never to blame. I did not state anything to imply that he was justified in doing so nor was I blaming the children.
This should be a monument to recklessness and stupidity, She has kids with a psychopath ( which he said he did not want ). I can not believe anyone could do that. Did she really not anticipate he might do something like that ? She ruined the lives of truly innocent people.

Wow, because all …
Wow, because all babies are planned right? I can’t believe after watching such a sad video, you have the nerve to be so hateful. Children are never to blame, and no matter WHAT someone’s excuse is; you have NO RIGHT to do what this man did. Funny how he uses the excuse of her “taking his kids away” huh? But yeah, it’s all about her. Grow up.

You are an amazing …
You are an amazing woman! Thank you for posting this. So many people out there only want to judge survivors of DV for their choices. You are so strong and even though I do not know you, you make me so proud to be an advocate. You remind me why we are fighting this fight, even when the odds seem stacked against us. God bless you and your family and fellow survivors.

if he didn’t want them he should have wrapped it up in the first place and HE wouldn’t have had the issues in the end.

Thank you very much for being so brave and posting your story online. I know it takes a lot of courage. I posted my story in the video response section. I hope things continue to move forward and that is AWESOME he’s in prison….Unfortunately I’m still in the court process after mine, and it’s been nearly 2 years. You are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing.

Consider YOUR blame …
Consider YOUR blame in this. He continued to abuse you..YOU decided to have his children. He didn’t want them …YOU had them anyway. Never mind the fact you had the children of a worthless piece of humanity ,,,,kids he DIDN’T want. Can you honestly say you hadn’t considered this might of happened ? Your child and your friend suffered because it was all about you and what you wanted. I WANT MORE KIDS even if the father hates them from conception ( according to you )

Agreed. If you …
Agreed. If you can delude yourself into thinking you have done something about the problem go ahead. Before I go any further, I am terribly sorry for what happened to you and I am happy he was sentenced.
Take a look at the guy you married. Have you ever seen an episode of cops ? All abusers look like this guy ( ok I am kidding ) Look at her guys, tell me you take a swing at her after a couple of drinks ( again I am kidding )
Why would have kids he didn’t want ?

I had my times of domestic violence by my fother and do not have a problem to tell about that, but keep whining about, making videos with lame music and exposing my personal life really is not the answer. I agree with the dude. You define your life by the abuse you suffered. If you were a dog they would propably put you to sleep.

What a painful but …
What a painful but honest video. The images of the van and the devastating injuries to your family and friends are so horrible, but an important testimony to why we must STOP domestic violence. There is a special kind of evil in a man who could perpetrate such horrors on those he supposedly loves.
I wish you peace, freedom and health. What you have survived no one should be asked to endure.

Tristan has a hearing aid for his one good ear but, he is losing his hearing completely. he mainly uses body sign language that we developed ourselves, him and I.

I was in almost the same situation you were.I just wanted to say that you should be proud of the strength that you have.Your children are all beautiful and have gotten their strength from their mother.I hope things work out for all of you,it took me almost ten years to decide what I needed to do.I’m getting everything together to go back to school and become a social worker that specializes in domestic violence. My prayers are with all of you.
