W s’ s ? Because he has her so brainwashed that it’s all her fault and that she’s no good to anyone and no one will want her or love her and there’s no way she can possibly make it on her own. W s’ s ?... Because she thinks that if she just tries harder and if she’s a better wife and a better mom that maybe he will be happy with her and he wouldn’t get so angry with her. And maybe he will be the same sweet, charming man that he was when they first met. W s’ s ? Because he has her convinced that if she tries he will hurt or kill her or her family. Because he has threatened to tell the judge that she is a bad mom and will take away her kids and she will never see them again. Because he has taken away her money and convinced her that she has no good job qualities to make it on her own financially and she will always need him. .... and these are just a few reasons. More people are concerned with why women stay in abusive relationships than why men are abusing women. Unless you’ve been in an abusive relationship you have no idea how hard it is to escape. Abusers are able to fool those outside the home because they usually only abuse those inside the home. They need your support. They need your love. They do not need your judgement. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Months... learn the signs, be supportive... #Repost https://www.thehotline.org/

Here is a what our new logo means. Gignoo House Logo by Samaqani Cocahq (Natalie Sappier) We enter the womb of Mother Earth and we feel safe, we cleanse and we build strength as the land and the sky blankets us with protection. The ancestors whisper Our Women sit in the centre of our baskets. Our Women are the carriers of creation. We braided our hair weaved with Medicine and wrap ourselves in roots of Grandmother teachings.... My sister, you are home.
