lost in the past

I want to learn from the past 

but I don't want to live there,

so I'm shifting the domestic abuse 

material and memoirs to another blogsite.

WORK IN PROGRESS will be specifically

for material to be used in the book on domestic violence.

This will include interviews, memories, research, 

statistics, resources, references to other blogs and websites.

LOVE LETTERS will be for other pieces

on other subjects to other people.

Domestic violence is a choice.

Why do people make that choice?

Is it a lack of conflict resolution skills?

Is it a lack of awareness 

of the inner conflict that's happening.

and our projection of that into the outer reality?

My intention is that the piece is more about conflict resolution 

and mediation rather than domestic violence.

There is a piece of limiting changes or growth

in a partner to maintain status quo 

or to control the targeted partner.

I imagine one site will be darker

and this site will be more about the future 

and creating a warmer, more detached, healthier life.

A reminder of my loving intentions

and my attempts to witness suffering without judgement.

And kindness in the face of attempts which appear to be failures.

And my own determination to be in healthy relationships 

for the time I have left.
