How many bad relationships have you had? Watching the demise of Mary J. Blige and Kendu reminds me of Tom Cruz and Katie Holmes, all I can wonder is how do we miss the signs? The good news is we can all heal, but if the monster we described was the person we actually met, domestic violence would be easy to eradicate from the earth. That’s how T. Renee Garner, Stage Play Producer describers her ex – as a Man Monster. Why, you ask? No, he wasn’t physically abusive but he was psychologically abusive. She realized she had been abandoned by her intimate partner after waking up from a coma in the hospital.
Today, her personality is bubbling as ever. In our interview she comically tells the story of going into labor prematurely, waking up from a coma and moving on with life. Trust us, happy is waiting but you have to work through your emotional baggage to get to it.
Take a good look at your situation. An abuser doesn’t have to be an intimate partner. It can be anybody, even a parent, neighbor or supervisor. If you are being emotionally, mentally or physically abused or even it happened some time ago, abuse can manifest in fear, low self-esteem or even suicidal thoughts – call the National Domestic Violence Hotline – Help is available to you. Listen, I know sometimes we don’t want to be fixed, we just want to be heard – Dial 1-800.799.SAFE (7233) and start your journey to emotional healing today.
