fed up help everyday victims where to go | April 2, 2009 at 11:53 am
It was bad enough seeing the re enactment of Rihanna and Chris
finding out that two actors did
this so called piece of trash..
Why not do a regular one.With
helping out the victim instead
of seating back and watching 2
actors protray this..
Victims need to know where to go
they do not need to see a mini
movie of the abuse they see it
themselves..I should know I was
abused.. this does not help

it may not help everyone, ‘fed up..’. you’re right about that. however, it may (and has already) helped some. several. even one would be fine with me.
sorry it doesn’t give you personally any hope, comfort, or practical advice — i won’t pretend to understand your circumstance. i only hope that it improves for you.

I actually found it very confronting and very sad. Being in a loving relationship I really can’t imagine what people go through being abused by their partner. This short video did give me a bit of insite though and I can see how this would help a lot of victims of abuse. I know that it may not of been the thing to help you fed up help everyday victims where to go but I’m sure there are others who would watch it and think differently. I am with peachpie in saying I hope your situation has improved and you have gotten away from the abuse.

I think this is a brilliant PSA. I hope it helps those being abused to find the strength they need to get out of these relationships. And I hope it kicks their abusers right in the gut, just like KK gets in the ad.
