SWEET DREAMS--My Best Friend 4---In search of......

As my best friend started to heal from her horrific ordeal and loss,my abusive first husband and I took our son and moved into my Daddy's apartment over the garage.Soon after, I discovered that I was pregnant with my second child.By now I hated the man that I lived with and I would no longer allow him to touch me.I thought perhaps this would force him to leave me alone and remove himself from my life.I had so very much wanted to move into that cozy little apartment with just my son but that didn't happen.My parents took marriage very seriously and were pretty much like "You've made your bed,Now you have to lie in it".Those were some very unhappy years and a lot of things I honestly don't remember,it's like a big blur.My abusive 1st husband landed himself another job with a local glass company.I knew that it wouldn't last long but I was thrilled that he would be out of the apartment and my site.I loved whenever he wasn't aound.I would literally cringe when I would hear him coming up the stairs.I was into reading a lot back then because I was a prisoner I couldn't go out or do anything.



My Mother-In-Law would even come by and ask her son if I could go out with her and he would always say no.She would say to him "Boy I'm your Mother, what's she going to do wrong with me?" and he would say "I know who you are".Around this time she and I started to get along,I felt that she finally understood what I was going through with her abusive and controlling son.She would also tell him that he should not abuse the one he loves.But it was to no avail.By this time my best friend had moved also.She moved into a small house that was in the same area as her Parents house.I would not really be able to visit her until my final seperation from my abusive 1st husband.Because he would drink up all the money he made we were unable to keep a home phone and I was so terrifed that I would go into labor all alone in that apartment and not be able to get help.Thank God that didn't happen.My daughter would be born on Father's Day 1980 a healthy baby.Her dad left the hospital and came back later on that day drunk.I was so disgusted,I felt sick to my stomach.His older brother who drove him up to the hospital,had to almost literally carry him out.And then during another time I remember also seeing a sinister side of my abusive husband when he had gotten a puppy from someone and he took the poor helpless pup outside on the porch and cut off it's tail.That poor puppy cried out in shriek's of severe pain.I had to keep my 2 year old son away from the area.There was no way that I could allow him to see such a horrible act by his dad.There was blood everywhere on the porch.It literally looked as if something had been slaughtered out there.I started thinking back to my best friend Bernice and what she had told me about praying, for her then abusive boyfriend to be arrested and I myself began to pray to God above for relief from this situation.I wanted out BAD.My abusive husband always told me though,that he would never let me go and that he would kill for what was his.He also told me that he would take my children away from me.He said "You will NEVER get my KIDS!!!".He felt this way because his Mom had left his dad and took he and his brother with her.She had said that his dad would literally lock her in the house.So finally one day she took her sons and left she moved very far away but even though she did it for good reason,he refused to see it that way.I had really gotten myself into a horrible mess with no easy escape.So I begun to pray hard,very hard.I had to get out this mess somehow....

POLICE AFTER BANK ROBBER ACCIDENTLY SHOOT 2 YEAR OLD BOY...

The father of a young boy critically injured after being shot by Jacksonville police aiming at a bank robbery suspect Friday is holding vigil by his son's hospital bedside after arriving from Jamaica, the boy's uncle told The Times-Union today.

Kirk Crichton is with his 2-year-old son, Daniel, at Shands Jacksonville hospital, said Don Crichton. Daniel remains in critical condition today as he recovers from shots to his chest and arm. His mother, Joann Cooper, 35, is in fair condition recovering from a gunshot to her foot.

Police this afternoon identified the suspect as Jeremiah Mathis, 31, of Utica, N.Y. He has prior convictions in New York for robbery and possession of a controlled substance. He was last released from prison in 2008, records show.

Don Crichton said Daniel's father doesn't intend to leave his son's side and will not immediately be available for interviews. In an earlier telephone interview with The Times-Union, Kirk Crichton criticized police for their actions.

The Jacksonville branch of the NAACP called today for an independent inquiry into the shooting. The State Attorney's Office is investigating whether any laws were broken. If not, then a Sheriff's Office review board will try to determine if any policies were violated.---http://www.jacksonville.com/

Man stabs pregnant wife and her twin sister---apparently his wife refused to get an abortion

A Queens man - enraged because his wife refused to have an abortion - slashed her throat and then stabbed her sister in the stomach Monday night in front of a room full of children, police and relatives said.
The wounded wife, Petrona Kates, and her bleeding twin, Patricia Kates, both 36, fled their Jamaica residence about 8:45 p.m. and ran to a local bodega, desperately pleading for help.

The Kateses' cousin Lesia Wickham, 32, said that according to family members' account, Petrona Kates' husband, Fitzgerald Jolly, became furious after he returned from Philadelphia and learned his wife was pregnant.

"I guess he didn't want her to carry on with the pregnancy," said Wickham, shocked over the bloodshed, which took place in front of at least six children, including Petrona Kates' young son.

"They were arguing. He left, then came back inside, took a knife from the kitchen and started to attack them."
Wickham said that as Jolly stormed out of the house, he "dropped the knife in a neighbor's yard and jumped in his vehicle and drove off." Cops later found the vehicle abandoned on the Whitestone Bridge, but Jolly's whereabouts are unknown, police said.
Petrona and Patricia Kates were both in stable condition last night at Jamaica Hospital, police said.
Bodega clerk Zaqrea Mahammed, 23, said he was behind the counter when Petrona Kates burst into the store. "I saw her come in holding her neck, bleeding all over her body," he said. "She said, 'Call the police! Call an ambulance!'"

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HURTS---LOVE ISN'T SUPPOSE TO

ARE YOU A VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE?

1. Is your partner threatening or violent towards you or the children? 2. Do you find yourself making excuses or minimizing your partner's behavior? 3. Do you feel completely controlled by your partner? 4. Do you feel helpless, trapped, alone, and isolated? 5. Do you blame yourself for the violence? 6. Does your partner blame you and tell you that you are the cause of all his problems? 7. Do you blame the violence on stress, on drugs/alcohol, or a bad childhood? 8. Does your partner constantly accuse you of having affairs when he can't account for 100% of your time? Does he tell you jealousy is a sign of love? 9. Do you fear going home? 10. Are you limited in your freedom like a child? (Go to the store and come straight home. It should take you 15 minutes.) 11. Do you find yourself lying to hide your partner's real behavior (for example, saying you fell down the stairs when actually you were pushed)? 12. Are you embarrassed or humiliated by your partner in an effort to control your behavior, especially in public? 13. Does your partner abandon you, leave you places, or lock you out? 14.

THE AFTER MATH OF CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE (by Dennis Thompson Jr.)

People who were sexually abused as children may have issues with sexual dysfunction and self-destructive behavior when they get older. Sexual abuse leaves many scars, creating feelings of guilt, anger, and fear that haunt survivors throughout their lives. Adults who have undergone sexual abuse as children commonly experience depression and insomnia. High levels of anxiety in these adults can result in self-destructive behaviors, such as alcoholism or drug abuse, anxiety attacks, and situation-specific anxiety disorders. The damage extends to the sexual abuse survivor's sense of their own sexuality. Many survivors also have trouble pursuing adult relationships and enjoying sex as an adult. The abuse can color a person's sexuality, preventing the survivor from pursuing a healthy sex life with a loving partner. Sexual Abuse and Sexual Behaviors In general, childhood sexual abuse survivors tend to either pursue sex recklessly as adults or to forgo sex completely, says Stephen L. Braveman, MA, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Monterey, Calif., and the western regional representative of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. "They typically wind up with splitting behavior, where things become very black and white," he says. "Either they are very sexually active, or they shut down sexually." www.everydayhealth.com

SWEET DREAMS 4 -My fourth Entrie

Monday, July 6, 2009 Sweet Dreams 4 I remember back in June of 94,I was married to my 2nd abusive husband and pregnant with my now 14 year old son.Nicole Brown Simpson had been murdered.This sent a real chill down my spine.I can remember thinking,now her kids are left without a mother..But,I still remained in my abusive marriage for a little while longer.However,I did separate from him before my son was born.Of course this was not our first seperation.....ya,know the victim most always goes back to her abuser..You know the drill...'I'M Sorry' it won't happen again...Anyway on to Clue #3 CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR...The abuser wants to know your every move...if you arrive home late from an appointment or work,the abuser will become angry and accuse you of seeing someone else.The abuser at this point is very irrational.Trying to defend your actions or trying to reason with the abuser at this point can be very exhausting, to say the least.The abuser will want to control everything from what you wear,to where you go, to whom you talk too.Are you starting to wake up?Well,THERE'S EVEN MORE...AND IT GETS MORE SERIOUS AS WE GO ALONG...

SWEET DREAMS-THREE'S A CROWD

I can remember having the very misguided feeling of being special and ooh so loved,because my husband was so insanely jealous.I was foolish and naive enough to think that this was cute.I was 17,the first time I got married...of course,it was against my adopted parents better judgement.But,you already know...that of course, I did not listen to them.So many women feel unrealistically flattered by the potential abusers jealousy.WAKE UP! You are headed in a DANGER ZONE! I must also mention that,I have suffered from depression my whole life..So,of course this added to my insecurities and acceptance of allowing myself to be a victim time and time again for years..I must say when my 21 yr. old daughter started dating her soon to be abuser..I could do something that,I could not do each time I met one of my future abusers..It was if I had some kind of a built in radar..something that I did not have concerning my abusive relationships.He may as well have been wearing a label because I could see right through him.He absolutely,terrified me.I tried over and over again to warn my daughter to no avail.She stayed in the relationship.I could tell exactly when she was starting to see the REAL person that she too quickly became involved with..Which brings me to #2)QUICK INVOLVEMENT! That Worldwind Wanna Be Romance.The potential abuser comes on strong "You are the only one for me" or "you are the only person that I can trust or talk to"..Many abusers propose in less than six months.Potential abusers will often put pressure on their victims for commitment...to the point that the victim may feel guilty if they want to slow down the relationship.This is yet another important clue..PAY ATTENTION! If these two very important clues are not enough Believe me THERE ARE MORE!

MY SECOND SWEET DREAMS ENTRY

Sunday, July 5, 2009 Sweet Dreams Too First,I would like to say the feelings of hopelessness and just sheer low self esteem can cause a woman to feel so worthless,that she feels somehow it is her fault that her partner is abusive to her.These feelings are Totally Untrue.Please,Please do not listen to these negative feelings.If you have a trusted family member or friend..Please confide in them and let them be a strong source of support.You CAN NOT CHANGE HIM! You are waisting valuable time,if you try.I know that I felt for years, like it was my fault..I thought 'It must be my fault,if I keep attracting these kinds of guys".If you do not have a friend or family member,talk to your family doctor.If this is not an option call 1-800-559-safe.I know that a lot of women stay in the relationship because of finances and their children or both.Especially today,in these hard economic times.It can be difficult.But,your life is priceless..just remember that.If you have young children,they desperately need you.For those of you that would like to know what to look for, as far as WARNING SIGNS..TO VIOLENT ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR..# 1)EXTREME JEALOUSY! He will tell you especially in the beginning of your relationship,that his jealousy is because he loves you so much..you are the best thing that has ever happened to him.He doesn't want lose you.WATCH OUT!

SWEET DREAMS (The beginning of this blog)

This blog is dedicated to women survivors of domestic violence.I was a victim of domestic violence for years.It is behind me now but,it recently touched my 21 year old daughter's life.All of the signs were there and I saw them and I desperately tried to warn her about them.But,of course she would not listen to me.Her ex-boyfriend recently set our house on fire as we were sleeping.The Lord awoke my daughter in time for her to alert us all(my husband & my two teenaged sons)we were able to escape without harm and our house was not very badly damaged.I have since installed a home security system.We all are still terrified because he was never arrested for the aggravated arson.The police did not have prove that he did it.Even though he posted a photo of himself,posing with a lighter burning,on a social network.My daughter has a 2yr. protection order against him.He violated it with telephone calls,he was arrested for this and he does have to go to court for it.In my blog I will list telltale signs of a potentially abusive person.I hope that I can help someone out there avoid becoming a victim of domestic violence.

MANHUNT IN PEORIA (published ALLVOICES) by me win59

On Tuesday Morning November 16th,my husband and I awoke to the startling news of two inmates escaping from the Peoria County Jail sometime between Monday 8:00pm and Tuesday 6:30am. James Fuller 44 and Aaron Cook 28 had managed to escape from the roof.The two had tied sheets together to lower themselves from the rooftop of the jail.(it was like something out of a movie) Fuller had been digging his escape thru the roof for well over a year.Aaron Cook had been in jail since March for breaking the arm of a 3 year old girl.James Fuller an unemployed felon,already convicted of armed robbery and rape was accused of attacking the same woman twice(I & my husband remember reading about the attack in our local newspaper)He is described as a very scary character.Police warned the public that Fuller is to be CONSIDERED DANGEROUS.But,what really made this very scary for me personally,was the fact that he was tracked down to the very neighborhood in which I live.Aaron Cook was captured several hours after the two escaped.He was found hiding in the basement of a residence and two people were arrested for obstructing justice.But,Fuller was still at large.Just blocks away,Fuller broke into a resident's home,tied him up and robbed him,taking a vehicle and a cell phone.Around 7:00 pm he reportedly left the stolen vehicle in a High School parking lot(he was in my area now).The police tracked the cell phone to an area that is like 2 blocks from my house! I was a paranoid mess and I can imagine the fear his victims must have felt upon the news of his escape.He was out there somewhere the entire night.Police finally captured him in a vacant house,where he reportedly surrendered without a struggle(he had left my area).It is reported that Serial Rapist James Fuller 6'3 and 225 lbs. was a patient at Zellers Mental Health Center(now closed down) 20 years ago,when he overpowered a worker and escaped(he was 24 yrs. old) he was at large for 5 days.He was a sixteen year old basketball star when he was first charged with rape,it is reported.But,thanks to the Peoria Police Department and local authority's James Fuller Serial Rapist and Man Of Terror is back behind bars!
