Getting over the anger?
|
|
Ann, we meet in DC in July and i thought maybe you would understand me better than my friends and family who I know get tired of hearing me talk about it all the time. Well it has been over a year and a half and things seem to be going well, but now volunteering at the school and always having meetings at the high school, I have to seen him there, it is so hard to have to look at him. How does my daughter go to school everyday and have to look at him knowing what he did to her, how he got away with it, how can she concentrate on anything. I went to a football game and he was there with his girlfriends family wearing a big cross around his neck, and someone walks up and tells Sami he has been baptized, so what, she supposed to forget everything he did to her. I have so much anger, it’s not fair, he comes out looking like a rose and we have all the pain to deal with, I just don’t understand how long it takes I thought I was getting over all this and that trying to teach parents and kids what the signs of dating abuse is would be helpful to me. But, I can’t stand him its so hard to see him, knowing he is laughing, and he got away just like he said he would. Anything you can suggest to me would be helpful, I know I am thankful she is here, maybe when he is out of school next year and not having to run into him will make it better, I really was doing better until I had to see him 3 times in the last week. I am trying to help the community I have joined our local project success and I am the head of the drug and violence prevention team. They did tell me that I could start preparing to teach the Love is not Abuse curriculum to the 6th, 7th and 8th graders and I am happy about that. Its just hard to see him, he ruins any positive things I am trying to do. |
