GUEST BLOG –by Sarah Ruiz THE CONTROLLED My Inner Battle – and Excerpt from my Diary: July 13, 2011 Today was hard day. Bolts of energy coursed through my body from the moment I woke up until now, as I prepare for bed. When he put his hands on me earlier I wanted to hit him, scream, fight him off. It would have been futile. I’ve been telling him it’s over for years. He has a way of pulling the life from inside me. I want to speak, but I can’t. I want to scream, but I can’t. The bolts of energy want to escape, to be released from my veins, but they are trapped, just like me. I am tired, alone and I feel like no matter which direction I go he is there, looking at me. I feel him looking at me even when he is not in the same room. I am a hostage. I try to keep it together. Some days are better than others. I look at my children and they bring strength back to my aching heart. Thank God for them. For their innocence. To be there again and not have to fight for freedom every day....
