Crazy for Thinking I Could Change Him

Crazy. For thinking I was the Savior – that I could change someone’s behavior. Crazy for thinking it was all about me. Crazy for thinking things would get better when you live with an Abuser – when actually things were getting worse day by day. Denial is powerful. Especially when you have given away your power. Crazy for thinking he would be faithful – when he is gone night after night.

Living in an abusive relationship is toxic – to me. It’s all about power and control. And a small man pretending he is God. Crazy, I tell you.

If you need help, reach out today. Call the hotline for Domestic Abuse, or the YWCA, or tell a friend. Life doesn’t have to stay CRAZY! God will make a way where there is no way. He will put people in your path to lead you out of the darkness and into the light.

Daily Prompt: Let’s Go Crazy

Sometimes, we act on impulse: it could be something as small as ordering that special dessert on the menu, maybe asking out that cute boy or girl, or as large quitting your job and selling everything you own to become a shepherd in New Zealand. What’s the most crazy, outrageously impulsive thing you’ve ever done? If you’ve never succumbed to temptation, dream a little. If you gave yourself permission to go a little crazy, what would you do?

Photographers, artists, poets: show us IMPULSE.

CRAZY by Patsy Cline

Crazy
I’m crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you’d love me as long as you wanted
And then some day
You’d leave me for somebody new

Worry
Why do I let myself worry?
Wondering
What in the world did I do?

Oh, crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I’m crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I’m crazy for loving you

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I’m crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I’m crazy for loving
You

  19. YOU are not crazy one, always remember that. No matter what anyone else says or has made you think.

    • Thank you for this. You are so right. I hate how the Abuser always told me I was the crazy one and made me feel that way. Especially when I caught him in a lie. He would always turn things around and make me question myself when really he was just trying to cover things up. Thank you so much, Diana

  21. Your words always ring so true Diana, thanks for the blessings this morning! I tried something new my sister, here is a link to my first video called My Eternal love, you know your poems and songs inspired me to give it a try along with my brother friend Mark, I know you will enjoy it, as we share the same selfless spirit to always help others with our gifts. It is on you-tube, and also was on my blog last Friday! I will begin to try and share more using Sound Cloud also. The link: http://youtu.be/KY6kpbRLF1Q
