Thank you for sharing the poem. They say those who hurt others, do it because they are insecure and want to feel the control and power over another. ‘advice me if i am wrong’, but, is it not better for the victim to sound dignified and strong to take away from the predator, the one addition which is power/ control. Having see this happen to a family member, the predator never feels remorse. So letting them know you are destroyed by them and fear them fuels that feeling making them crave more of it? (this does not mean fight them back.

Domestic violence is never ok and picturing the woman shrinking in the face of her abuser is such a sad image to conjure. I do hope that more people raise awareness of abuse and the fact that you did it through a metaphorical poem was extremely powerful to read.

So true, abusers are dwarves really – little bullies trying to make themselves bigger at the cost of another’s happiness and security.
