Thank you, this post really touched me. I am impressed with the candor and courage displayed (and poetry), it is time to talk openly to one’s doctor, family and friends about the horrors of everyday domestic violence, especially strangulation. I am a survivor of this kind of brutal attack that should of killed me,a broken hyoid bone.. and I want to work with others to help those of us that have been traumatized physically, as well as emotionally and mentally. You guys have no idea how many people over 16 years have told me they were hurt in this way too, but never told anyone. It is hidden by a secrecy of silence, much like rape was 20 years ago. The Family Justice Center has all the facts on strangulation, but there needs to be more data collected.Let me know if you need a participant on any studies! Aloha
Mahalo!
