Overlooking the Abuse

I overlooked the abuse one too many times.  I would tell myself that he was a good person and that he needed help, WRONG ADVICE, but I had to learn the hard way.  Note to all the hard heads - Hard heads must learn the Hard way......back to my story.  I kept telling myself that everything would get better, that all I had to do was LOVE him more.  I'm not God, I didn't and still don't have enough love in the world to make an abuser stop abusing me...........only the courts could do that.........and they did.
