Expected Change Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Wounded, scarred in life by abuse of another who is
supposed to love and support you through sickness
and health.

Not doing so, apparently not understanding what an
unconditional love is meant to be, crippling their
partners with abuse, causing their mental health and
well-being to suffer tremendously in life.

Quality of life slowly decreasing, limiting their
positive attitudes, giving in to depression, instead
of stepping up and facing the one who has the problem.

Letting them know it will no longer be tolerated and
putting their foot down, expecting change to come
about or walking away from the situation.
