Dear Pastor,

I am a 28-year-old mother of two lovely children and I am urgently in need of help. I have been in a relationship for four years and I have been physically, emotionally and sexually abused. Sometimes I cry at the manner in which I am being treated because I know that no one deserves to be treated like this. My boyfriend constantly cheats, calls me all kinds of names, but yet it seems as if I can't leave. I want to leave but I am weak.

I need help because I am even abusive to my kids and I do not want to hurt them. I feel as if I am going crazy. I am depressed and I feel as if I am between a rock and a hard place. I hate myself and my life.

Help me, please.

K.W.

Dear K.W.,

No woman should allow any man to physically abuse her. Therefore, if your husband is constantly abusing you, you should do everything to get out of that situation. I suggest that you call the Crisis Centre to help you. The number is 876- 929-2997.

Pastor
