Love is blind

So here we are again....lately I just can''t seem to shake what has happened. He''s done it again too much drinking and too much yelling. The bruises on my body are a testament to the rage that he unleashed upon me. I feel trapped in this relationship unable to leave because of some twisted sense of love that I can''t seem to shake. As I lay in bed trying to nurse my wounds I couldn''t help but think about what my life had become. I was once a strong independent woman but now I was a shell of my former self cowering in fear whenever he would raise his hands. I knew I had to leave but the fear of the unknown was paralyzing.
