I can relate on sooo many levels- after the sudden loss of my husband, I have finally learned that IT IS OKAY to say "I am Not feeling well today" and asking for help and I have NO problem telling everyone that I've had to and continue to go to grief counseling to help me get through this.<br /><br />I will definitely be sharing this article and YES- it is very liberating talking about it! : }Kendra Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267550810356199641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621635174313218469.post-60265950987971099292012-01-17T21:49:09.601-05:002012-01-17T21:49:09.601-05:00I am really interested in this subject.

I grew up in an abusive house where voilence was the norm but you did not talk about it. You are so right. We do not celebrate or acknowledge Domestic Violence in the same way as Breast Cancer and we still do not want to discuss it. I love your article. The article is so thoughtful and beautiful.

It's ironic that this disease would hve such detrimental effects on the emotional and physical health of so many of our women. The contributing factors of course are numerous and reach back as far as pre-emancipation and beyond. So unfortunate because I know that our role or lack there of is currently one of the largest contributors for Strong Black Woman Disease. I do believe that a healthy collective reconnect between Black Man and Black Woman could help alleviate much of the pain involved with this condition. :(Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390035737670631046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621635174313218469.post-84347452663241651532011-06-19T11:30:43.365-04:002011-06-19T11:30:43.365-04:00Your piece really resonated with me.

Personally, I did not enjoy "Why Did I Get Married Too?" What happened to characters such as Cliff and Claire Huxtable and Carl and Harriett Winslow, who gave so much hope and wisdom, and excitment to black relationships? They made me want to be married and work out problems as an "adult." I want and expect more serious, realistic and profound characters to come from Tyler Perry's platform.<br /><br />I'll keep praying....Amanda Lowe-Brownnoreply@blogger.com
