Wow I cried the whole way through this video. As a survivor of domestic violence this hits me so deep. Rest peacefully beautiful Darlene. 💕🙏🏾

[@top-class9542]

1 part of the video I want to clarify is that my Mom GAVE My Grandmother PERMISSION to let John take my little Sister . John prior to that incident was very involved in my little sister Dajon life and was a good father to her. So my Mom didn't have any reason to believe he would do something like that to her (my sister). My Grandma was against it which is why she hesitated in the scene to give her to John. But my mom said it was fine let him take Dajon to spend some time together so she followed instruction. Sorry I didn't clarify that part enough in the video which is my I'm HIGHLY considering making this into a Full length film. REST IN PEACE MOM

I’m so sorry for your loss. This hit hard I am a survivor of Domestic Violence I got out after years of abuse. Your mom will always be with you

[@willowclay3137]

The most dangerous time is when the person decides to leave the monster! It's even worse when children are involved! The monster becomes more controlling because the children are his possessions! It's only about power and control! The monster needs someone to regulate his empty soul and use as a punching bag!

Every woman been in a relationship like this I hate it when they can’t leave him 🥰🙏🏾❤️

[@jammiegordon6522]

Lady's please get out of this kind of abuse so sorry about your mom!🙏

[@samiyahguliford9037]

It’s easier said than done, women die trying to escape.When my mom tried to escape from my dad. 25 years ago he had his military rifle sitting with ammo next to it. He was going to kill here for wanting to leave. Had it not been for my grandpa and his best friend being there I would have lost my mom

[@deelockett203]

Wow! I am a domestic violence survivor. No one should have to experience this, please, please know that you're not alone. You do have support, you have help. I was abused 24 years ago I have plates in my head and no feeling on the left side of my face. I didn't press charges at the time but in 2021 my abuser knocked his present girlfriend's eye out of the socket he had abused her multiple times she finally got fed up now he's in jail and will be getting sentence this month.

[@hisnightmare4life329]

Man this hit hard as I seen my mom going through domestic violence when I was small I don’t know what I’d done if she was gone I’m sorry you had to go through this but your mom is watching over you and I pray John will get his

[@allisonhennessee1641]

[@cinnamonousley9113]

I went thru a abusive relationship for 4 years. I thought I’ll never get away cause it was so hard at times. I seen opportunity to go and i did just that and never looked back. I’m so grateful everyday that i got away cause some don’t and i seen so many times that one day he was going to take my life. This story is so touchy..

[@christinewhite624]

God bless you ❤️‍🩹. Domestic violence needs to stop. No one ever helps. 😔

[@monaeecafe]

It is amazing that you were able to share your story there is always a testimony in the tragedy and I’m praying that you sharing the story of your mother will have some other young woman have the courage to leave her abuser thank you and God bless you and your family

[@msbabygirl113]

This is so heartbreaking. We always say what we will do until it’s us. I went through this the stalking the popping up where I am. The scariest thing is never knowing when they will react. Always trying to remain cool as to not cause conflict Even breaking into my house and waiting for me to walk in. Til this day I don’t go to bed or leave my house without leaving a light on. This is the saddest and most devastating end to her story. For those of us that made it out keep surviving. For those of us that didn’t #SALUTE!! Sleep on Lady D!! #topclass ❤️

[@terrellthomas3494]

It sad seeing this the hurt it had on our family top class love you n you know big cuz always here for you

[@taiyasheppard1268]

Wow..i felt this..may she be at peace

[@DanniBaby-md1qz]

Being a survivor of domestic violence, I felt the pain in my heart literally every time she was hit. Even the shooting because had God not guided me not to go with him the last time I saw him, he likely would have taken me with him that night in which he committed suicide a little after midnight. It’s been 17 yrs & it still crosses my mind.

[@antoinettebush1574]

My ladies I'm not trying too be funny at all, but always keep a lot of pennies or any type of coins in your house, because that first hit will be the last hit. Boil them pennies while he's sleeping and dump the whole pot all over him, make sure you get get that main hand he hit you with. I've been with my man for 9yrs and I showed him and let him know before hand. I seen a man throwing my mom of a balcony so he show enough will never put his hands on nobody. Did 4yrs for that. IJS.
