The Bullying has to Stop

We are loosing our youth. Every day, I hear that a child or an adult has either taken their own life, or had it taken by someone else. My latest book, 'My Name is Emily Mills,' is actually based on real events. I know what it is like to be called names and tormented day by day in the classroom and even in the home. I look back at my life as a child and a young adult, and I honestly don't know how Read more of this blog post »

“The tears came rolling down my face. He was trying to get some help to save our marriage. What should I do? If I testifed against him, then he would go to prison. But could I lie and say that he had only hit me once since we’d been married? What if the judge found out that I was lying and tried to take my kids from me? Mike, why are you putting me in this situation? I just didn’t know what to do. I tore up the letter so no one would ever see it. I just couldn’t think about this right now. I decided to do some cleaning like I planned and maybe in a few days, I would decide what to do.”
Annette Reid, Domestic Violence: The Sara Farraday Story

“She’s getting better. At least she’s not having any more nightmares about what happened. The doctor said hopefully in a few months she should be back to her normal self. I don’t think she will ever be normal again. Rachel will forever carry around those scars in her heart. That’s why Sara makes me sick. She has a chance to get out. My sister tried to get out and couldn’t. What is wrong with woman like her? They are sick.”
Annette Reid, Domestic Violence: The Sara Farraday Story

“Dear Sara, First I want to apologize for everything that I have done. I am so sorry for hurting you. I was just so angry with Tom; I had no right to take it out on you. I thought it would be best if I moved out of the house for a while. I started attending AA meetings on Monday nights. I have also been talking to a counselor. He has helped me to face a lot of the problems that I couldn’t deal with on my own. A lot of the drinking and the violence was from the fact that I miss my mother. I never got a chance to see her or even get to hear her voice. My dad hated me for all these years because he blamed me for her death. Sara, I had no one. No one to talk to. No one to hug me. No one to tuck me in at night. I never had a father/son talk. I envied you. You grew up on a farm with people that loved you. I think a part of me was jealous. For once in my life, I have someone to love and I don’t know how to handle it. The problem is not you, Sara. It never was. The problem is me. I need to learn how to love, so that I can be a husband for you and a father for my children. I don’t know how long it’s gonna take and if you want to divorce me, then I’ll understand. The court hearing is in two weeks. I know that you have to testify. When I turned myself in, I told the police that I hit you and you fell on the floor, causing your cuts and bruises. I know that I lied to them, but I really need some help, Sara. If I’m locked up in prison, I can’t get the help that I need. The prison system doesn’t help those guys. They come out of prison doing the same things that they got locked up for. I want to change and be a better man. The only way I can do that is if you testify that I only hit you once since we’ve been married. I hate to put you in this position, and if you want to tell the truth, then I understand. You do what you feel that you have to do. I just feel positive about our future. With the counselor and the AA meetings, I know that we can finally be that perfect couple that you always wanted us to be. I love you and our beautiful children. Give them a big kiss for me, baby. I want to hold you in my arms so bad, but I know I can’t, not until I get the help I need. Love, Mike”
