I really like this poem. Many women suffer the same kind of abuse, sure it might have only verbal abuse, but abuse verbally, emotionally or physical all is abuse and can bring a person to a point of despair, Despair until at last they find the strength to say goodbye and become very capable. I am so thankful my husband was not an abuser, like my father was. I love the message here and do hope you will continue to write these poems of wisdom.

Comment from emrpoems
It's ironic, that I would thank you for making me
The strong woman that I have turned out to be.
Very interesting words and those we wish meant something different but difficult time do make us strong enough to turn away from whatever is painful
good use of rhymed couplets

Hi, Lynglyng...
Congrats on the win, and deservedly so. Very sad, but so true the sentiment. Anyone who has had this kind of relationship understands all too well.
Nice presentation.
Cheers & Blessings

Comment from ragamuffin
A relationship based on need is usually two sided. One person just plain "needs," and the other needs to control or needs someone weak so they themselves can feel strong. Your words convey something that seems to happen fairly often unfortunately. It's a strong piece that conveys self worth, strength, growth, and determination. Well done.

You go girl! It's not right to get caught up in their personal issues and become the victim in the process. So many men, it seems to me, can be so selfish. It's a partnership for Heaven's sake! Tsk!
Nicely stated with just the right amount of emotion. Good job! :)

You know, sometimes you do have to thank a controlling mate for giving you the guts to fend for yourself. It sounds like the woman in this poem is going to be alright. Enjoyed your poem; feelings are very well expressed.

Sporadic punctuation, sometimes no punctuation interrupted the flow of an otherwise exemplary write. The employment of a few commas will enhance the flow of your piece, turning a good write into a great write. Otherwise it kept with the prompt.

Comment from gypsycaravan
Of course, I love this poem. It could have been written about me and the majority of women around the world. Each verse is powerful and a strong statement. It does start out as trying to be perfect for them, never quite achieving that place. The control becomes stronger and then you are sure you are not worthy. I was angry and hurt for so long until I realized what a better place he had put me by his leaving. Thank you for writing and sharing this poem.

It is very sad to live in a world where everything you do is wrong and you convey the learned despair of such a situation nicely in this piece. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you so much for sharing this with me.

I really enjoyed your poem and I feel you poured your heart out into it and included really good rhyming and flow throughout. You successfully took the reader on a journey from beginning of relationship to it's fateful end. It is a sad poem, but very well written. Thank you for sharing this and I wish you good luck in this contest.
