I got flowers! Violence Against Women 16 Days of Activism - (25 Nov - 10 Dec)
We had our first argument last night, and he said a lot of cruel things  that really hurt me.  I know he is sorry and didn't mean the things he said,   because he sent me flowers today.  I got flowers today. It wasn't our   anniversary or any other special day.
Last night he threw me into a wall and started to choke me.  It seemed like   a nightmare, I couldn't believe it was real.  I woke up this morning sore and   bruised all over.  I know he must be sorry cause he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today, and it wasn't mother's day or any other special day.   Last night, he beat me up again, it was much worse than all the other   times. If I leave him, what will I do? How will I take care of my kids? What   about money? I'm afraid of him and scared to leave. But I know he must be sorry   because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today. Today was a very special day. It was the day of my   funeral. Last night, he finally killed me. He beat me to death. If only I   had gathered enough courage to leave him, I would not have gotten flowers   today.......
If you are against domestic abuse, please pass this along to everybody,   NOT just women.
