Journey of an unhappy married woman
A woman can lose her identity very quickly in a dysfunctional marriage. Life is so short, why do some of us stay in a marriage that offers us nothing spiritually, mentally or sexually. Do you know what happens when you try to convince yourself that your life is good, that this marriage is ok, you have everything you want, you don't need more, YOU LOSE YOURSELF. We have children, we stay for them, we try hard to be what they want, and sadly what everyone else wants. How many of us still have dreams of yesterday locked away, thinking they no longer are a part of who we are now. I have seen women in unhappy unions, have physical ailments, and as long as they concentrate on their sickness, they do not have to look at where they are. In this day and age, women should have a stronger voice, but unfortunatly most of us don't. I used to live next door to a family where the only time the wife left the house was when her husband took her to the supermarket. These people live here in the western world and they treat their women like trash, they behave as though they own them. Why, do these women let it happen to them, why is it that refuges for women still cannot stop a man from tracking her down and abusing her. I cannot understand how a government today can let so much abuse from men still happen. Why after so many centuries, are we still fighting for our voice, why are a lot of marriages today based on abuse, and how come these women stay. I have witnessed women put their whole life aside for their husbands and children, as though they no longer exist. From the moment they are married they are not an individual. What I feel sad about, is when a woman has been married 10 years or more and has lost her independance and her confidance, she sees no way out. Some men out there are in touch with their feelings, and some women out there have wonderful fullfilling unions, I know they do exist. The only hope I can give is to my daughter and son, to teach them, each differently of course, to have a voice to my daughter and my son to be in touch with his feelings. I am hopeful that when he grows up and wants to start a family, he will find a women strong minded like his mother and sister. I am hopeful also that my daughter will not lose her strengh when she becomes a teenager. If you cannot do it for yourself, then do it for your children, teach them to be what you are not so as to break the cycle. Remember, they will only repeat the life you are living now. http://marriednomore.blogspot.com
