thanks mmmcarta for taking the time to review this piece. I noticed that you are a very up beat beautiul young woman with alot of life. i love your photography but from your slight laughter at the end of this review makes me wonder if you too are being abused and are in silence. Laughter is the best way of covering up pain. I know, I use laughter as my drug of choice,if you'd notice from most of my work its fun. My daughter and I both have a great sence of humor, but there is a difference between smiling and enjoying life and enjoying life for the world to see and suffering in silence because your loved one makes a mistake and accidently shoves you into a wall or becomes verbally mean all the while saying, oh you know I didn't mean that I was just jokeing. If i'm completley off the mark here pleasse excuse me and forgive me but if by chance there is someone you know or you yourself are being abused and feel you have no where to turn, there is help. You can email me at my private email account that I will message you so it is done so without anyones knowledge. Abuse needs a voice.
thank you for your kind review and taking the time to write one.
p.s. we both have one thing in common, anything to do with water. I just got out of the pool and swimming is my all time favorite sport LOL { I had just gotten out of the hsopital today from a bad case of flu but being better now I had to hit the pool as soon as I walked through the door LOL}

Comment from Lynnmarie
The poem and the image are both very powerful! I hope the coffin in the corner signifies the death of the relationship and not a person. Your daughter has written from her heart and since I've heard many stories from women in this situation I feel it's a perfect expression of the conflict that goes on inside a victim. It seems so wrong that the one that's hurting has to blame themselves so but I know they do. I feel your image follows the poem very closely and the two go hand in hand. Well done on both your parts!

thank you so much Lynnmarie. the coffin in the corner represents the end of this particular poem, the last few lines with the family filing by to see her means she was murdered. thats the point my daughter was trying to get across to women who do stay. Abusers never change no matter how much they may say they will and hoping and praying that things will change will certainly end in death to one or both partners. As sad as that sounds and as heart breaking, statistically it is way too often true. It could also represent the end of the relationship, the meaning is in the eye of the reader.
thank you again for allowing me to share with someone such a heartfelt and emotional piece that can touch someone eles as it has you.
thank you again sincerely

Glad to hear you are coming home. I just got home also. Had to go in and have injections in my back. Got home 5 min ago.
-
I just got home around 2:00 and the first thing I did was hit the pool LOL, doc said to take it easy so thats what I did, however, I've been in the hsoptial a week and we had a heat wave and no one cleaned the pool so its dull but the water still felt great.
Needles in the back OUCH! is that for allergy testing or soemthing else? I've had the needles for allergy testing and they are far from fun, anything else they can forget it LOL
-
No.. a huge needle.. had to put me asleep for it. For my back problems.. herniated disks and spinal degeneration. If this doesn't work, next step is back surgery. :(
-
okay now thats a huge 'OUCH!' crap surgery now thats a biggy especailly back surgery keep me informed on how your doing

Hi Lynkaah, this is very touching and a strong message. The poem of your daughter automatically paints a picture and your painting tells the poem...I too was such a victim 8 years ago, so it touches very deep. I hope your daughter has been able to heal a little from this very deep wound, and you too! Iris

I'm sorry to hear that you yourself had to go through this abuse, way too many woman and now even men are going through it. My daughter was shot by her ex in 2006 after she divorced him and as our justic system so oftenly does, nothing happened to him so now she has to still deal with him because they have shared parenting. she us a miracle herself because after 18 major surgeries and told she'd never walk, she has tought herself to walk each time. she is in a great deal of pain continually, but she gets up every day and takes care of her kids and keeps going. Her abuse by his hands was very violent hut the reason he got away each time he put her in the hospital is he was close friends with all the police officers in the town they lived in. He was born and raised with most of them, she on the other hand moved to that town with us after my husband retired from the marine corp after a 26 year tour. Now that these years have past most of the police now know that her ex did shoot her but they can't do anything about it. My husband now is a cop working on his second career and they all watch him like a hawk to keep him away from her ex. Over all, we see the blessings that we and her kids still have her with us. she is doing better but its one day at a time.
thank you for your concern as a survivor yourself

Comment from Outdoor Wonders
That is really some poem; very nice. I am sorry that your daughter had to go through that. This is a very good piece of art showing the emotions of what the words where wrote for. The colors are alive while the tears on the face show the hurt inside. The flowers with the note shows that things might soon get better, but the coffin in the corner shows, if I stay death is imminent. You have done very well expressing your art with the words that you daughter has written. Kind of a heart breaking poem, but I enjoyed it, and enjoyed looking at your art expressing the words.
