“She asked for my forgiveness, Rosie. And I gave it. But I’d forgiven everything she’d done, and everything she could do long before then.”

Pove is my name, and this, my bespectacled readers, is Luna, gentle, sunny, bubbling Luna, my Luna. This is the sonorous song in her laughter. This is the sun in her smiles. And yes, these are the bright, sparkling stars in her eyes.

There is a cancer plaguing the land, and it is slaughtering the very fabric of every relationship in its path. This cancer is abuse. One may ask, what is abuse, or what does an abuser look like? Particularly, this cancerous condition is not discriminatory against any social class; hence, an abuser can be of any race or gender. Abuse comes in a myriad of forms, and its aftermath has a negative impact that is unending. However, the most prevalent ones perpetrated in relationships are verbal, emotional, and physical.

When we have trouble in relationships, we are disturbed. We become depressed, aggressive, desperate, hopeless, and distraught. We have to admit we are more affected by other people than we tend to think.

Various people struggle with relationships within their family, friends, and significant others, especially during the young adult years. Struggles within a relationship can lead to a deep depression and can cause suicide among teens.The need for human belonging can be so intense that a person will begin to do things that, on the contrary, they never would have before, and which that is completely out of character for them. Relationships can acquire difficulties that people may never have the ability to detect coming. These difficulties can include: being in an abusive relationship, not feeling appreciated, or going through breakups. When most consider relationship struggles they expect a significant other, regardless, there are bountiful types

When you hear the word “abuse” one might think of a man hitting his wife or girlfriend, a woman with covered up bruises and physical marks. It is a subject that gets discussed more, something that is more often shown on popular television shows and movies. But there is another type of abuse that does not get shown or talked about as much. It is called “emotional abuse” and just because it does not show physically in marks or bruises does not make it any less dangerous and damaging. The first step to addressing this abuse is to understand the signs. You may be experiencing emotional abuse if your partner calls you names, insults you or puts you down, prevents you from going to work or school, makes you question your sanity, threatens you, blames

I entered the large metal warehouse and shoved the heavy grey door open. The stunt actors Robbie and Sam were already there, throwing rocks at the practice net, getting ready for their scene in five minutes.

It was at Illyria’s homeless shelter where Malvolio had been spending all of his time. He did not do much there except eat and sleep. His days were boring and nothing was done by him. He was too old and tired for most of the work and he was hellbent on getting his revenge on Sir Toby. So one day while laying in his bed, he decided to get some revenge. And he knew just where to find them. His first target was Sir Toby, he could always be found in the bar getting drunk. Malvolio believe he could use Sir Toby’s drunkenness against him. So Malvolio headed down to the bar. His plan was to give Sir Toby a drink that would cause projectile vomiting for an hour. He would tell Sir Toby that it was a free whiskey when Sir Toby was drunk enough. As he walked in the bar he

The buzz of the pre-show intoxicated us. Waiting patiently for our respective cues, our five pairs of eyes fell on Evam's hand. He was to be the genius behind the camera, calling upon the rest of us to deliver our lines in turn. I was the detective, wearing a not-well-fitting jacket and an excited look.

Your relationships also need optimal support to repair the damage caused by toxic thoughts and actions, to rebuild

Is it wrong to expect for people to come into my life and put in the same effort as I do? Is it wrong to speak up about having a normal relationship with an understanding of each other? So it’s okay to have a type of relationship that consists of a one way with a dead end. Please tell me what’s wrong with this whole situation?

Many women play the martyr in relationships with men who don't treat them well because many women feel so devoted to their partners that they are afraid of losing them. They sometimes delude themselves with fantasies about why the partner still loves them despite all the signs pointing otherwise. This isn’t gender specific! Guys are just as delusional as women when in love! They too would try to save the relationship by ‘playing the martyr’.

Communication is the number one key to a good relationship. When there is no communication between both parties involved in the relationship, that is when the relationship fails whether it is a man and a woman, or a child trying to divorce his/her parents or friends cutting their ties forever.

I always dated guys that were bad news. I only started dating at eighteen and I'm twenty one now. The guys I dated were either into drugs, cheating, alcohol, or just not good for me. They got me in to some bad things.

Pamela Cooper-White has mentioned in “The Cry of Tamar”, the Facts of Battering in Chapter 5. (pg 124) I wish I could have read more books like this before I got married. In this chapter, Cooper-White mentioned about healthy and non-abusive relationships. She had indicated questions concerning how a person is treated by their significant other. Astonishing, almost all my answers were “yes”. I had left an unhealthy marriage because I didn’t want my son to grow up like his father. I didn’t want my son growing up thinking that it was normal to disrespect and treat women how I was treated by his father. I was often called names by my ex-husband. He was controlling and possessive over me. He would tell me what to wear and how to hold a sandwich. I had to take care of my son, which included taking him to school, picking him up, taking him to his sports (and I couldn’t be late according to my ex-husband). I had to help my son with his homework, making sure he was bathed and I had to put my son to sleep almost every night. I had to do all of this on top of working full time, cleaning the house, mowing and taking care of the yard. And, then I had to pay bills, too. I would ask for help and he would constantly tell me “it was a woman’s
