Daddy Polished My Shoes
by LaJuan Simon

Why do we stay in abusive relationships is a question we ask ourselves when the shame becomes too great. Shame can shatter dreams, shame can push others away, shame can blind our future and cause us to miss out on true love. Daddy Polished my Shoes is a real story about a young girl who adored her father and she grew up and married a man with his smile, another with his secret, and a third with his sickness. We need to identify the signs when a relationship becomes abusive, and walk away.
