you are absolutely right it never stops at the person that they abused and abusive men will continue to abuse other women my ex boyfriend after we broke up he started hitting on his next girlfriend and so on and so on
And your heart and soul. They don’t have to hit you for it to be abuse! Verbal and emotional is horrible and no one always believes you that your spouse is abusive🥲
@@elizabeths4371 No, there are NEVER any reasons to stay in an abusive relationship. There are justifications and excuses, which are different from reasons. There IS never any SINGLE REASON to stay in an abusive relationship. Nothing can make rationale such a choice. People can justify or excuse it all day, but there is never any reason to stay. GET OUT!!!
@@LoveFirstYou I totally understand what you're saying however, when someone IS in an abusive ( emotional, physical/ financial etc.) relationship, and hasn't yet reached the point where they're READY to leave; they will easily find plenty of "excuses" and/or "justifications" cloaked as "reasons" for them to stay in it. Other people may see what's happening and advise the abused to "Get Out" but if that person is still finding "reasons" for their battering and excuses for their abuser- they won't, even if they KNOW they should.
My ex was a narcissist..... Tree years of relationsheep, I almost got as nut as he was... These people are dangerous, for themselves and for their "victims".... Thank God I'm alive!! Sometimes, after all these years, he is still "hunting" me, I have some flash-backs, but...I'm ok now ! Blessings !

Some of the strongest women I know have been in abusive relationships, left them, and taken their power back. Great to know that Della Reese has been in a 34 yr relationship with a man who love, respects and honors her and I love the ending of this video.
I always say to all women "All Women" not some. Love YOURSELF not to become or get involve with any man...who has more then one children. DON'T marry a man who has been married more then two times. It's so way to many giveaways signs...that women ignore. Some are in complete denial that men love w/ a selfishness. A real man can and, will love his wife...not wives...not women...his wife. God help all men.
Amrn because the devil don't want to that why so many women's are dead to toady because listening to foolish people telling don't leave bettet wise up get out for sake of your life
I’m Taurus but Gemini rising thank GOD I’m grounded coz my Gemini is problematic for me-it makes me think kid in a candy store I want this n this n this as I flit from item to item 😝and I’ll not date another Gemini man sun sign again! 🤔🙏🏻😝🤨
Oh Miss Della...I wished I had opened my window. My abusive ex nearly killed me after 10 yrs of mental, financial and psychological abuse plus hitting on our kids. Our pastor said divorce was not an option and my faith was so strong I believed him.Finally after a broken eardrum, eye socket and facial bones.. I left and had him arrested and convicted and he spent time in prison. My children suffered greatly those yrs and still bear the scars although strong and proud and lots of momma's prayers, both graduating college in the medical field..praise God. A woman should never ever STAY with abuse...everyone suffers and she is risking her life..I wish I could have spoken with Della...we could have had a few related bittersweet laughs...see ya when I get there ma'am.
I am a survivor as well, twice done. I was told wrong at church, too. This is an area the Church HAS to wake up to (and I can see that some are beginning to, finally).
A story for modern women from a woman who found her blessings. Abuse is a disease and it is contagious. Fight it, and stand up against it and defend those who don't know how to defend themselves.
This comment is philosophically accurate and you needed more upvotes! Most abusers were abused and they usually are the less resilient types. Some opt to be feared if they don't believe they can be loved. Of course most reactions are not deeply thought through and are deeply rooted. When you have the feeling or reality of little choice but to deal with abuse, it shapes you under pressure to survive. That's why a lot of mental abuse victims show traits of their abusers. It's something we need to teach children in school and emphasis more in life: coping skills and how the mind becomes dysfunctional.
Domestic abuse should fall in the category of sexually transmitted diseases. Because abusers go on to abuse new partners and commit other dating violence
I have been through this. She speaks the truth. Your life is forever changed as far as how you perceive the world. I have not dated in the last 5 years and I do not plan to. I feel some peace just being by myself.
It’s nice feeling and being in peace You deserve that But you also deserve love as well Don’t allow him or them to take you future away from you I have to remind myself of this sometimes I wish you the best
Same here. I understand that feeling of peace after getting out of abuse. I’ve been single and uncommitted for 11 years now. Very, very happy I am. Being single frees me in so many ways. I’m glad you’re choosing yourself. Nothing worse than getting caught in another nightmare!
Amen me to because i rather be by myself than let a man treat me like dirt but as woman's need make wise choices when we see frist sign need hit the door even before get to marriage while you are dating them because that's sure sign that's how they going be when marry them
So very right!! An abuser will cut your self-esteem so low that even the thought of leaving is terrifying.. R.I.P Della!! You were one strong lady!! God Bless You!
It is not embarrassing. The enemy want you to feel embarrassed. So, you will stay in that mess, and so you won't share your story with others in order to help them come out of an abusive relationship.
@@betterfad3d Either way it is no reason to feel embarrassed about your experience like I said. I have been in several different abusive relationships, and I'm speaking from experience. The enemy (satan) will try to make you feel embarrassed, to keep you in the situation. And to keep you from telling other people about your experience in order to help them. He want you to stay in that toxic and unhealthy relationship and mindset. Because he don't want you to receive what God have for you, and don't want you to share with people how God brought you out.
Hmmm.....the man got to go to sleep sometime.....Hmmm.....My cast iron skillet don't just fry chicken!! Ladies, if a man strikes you one time, then it's either him or you. He's declared all out war on you. Don't wait for the second blow, because believe me, it's coming. Wake up, don't be a fool. Get out, get away, respect yourself, after the very first time he shows you what he is.
Women got to be educated about this problem. Why do women take crap off men? Not just women, but young girls taking crap off boys, disrespecting themselves by allowing the boys to treat them bad. Women, respect who you are, what you are, you don't need a male to make you worth while. You ARE worth while and you deserve the best!! Nothing less! I would love to give classes. I'm writing a book about this now that I've retired from teaching. I've seen too many women hurt and abused and they allow it to continue. Only women can stand up for themselves and for each other and say, "Enough is enough!! Treat me right, or get out of my life!!" Do it early and do it soon. If you don't value yourself, nobody else will.
PREACH. And these men be actin' a fool, forgetting that you prepare their meals. Just meditate on THAT 4 a moment . . . hot GRITS or deep FRIED fish anyone??!!
Yes, she reminds me of my late great grandmother Gi Gi. One night we stayed up the entire night and I just listened to her reminisce and tell stories about her life. Simply priceless.
Abuse whether emotional, verbal, mental, or physical is a dark evil spirit. Its best to find s way of getting away from it. There is a lot of help these days. The challenge among many is to face the fear and stand up to it. Watch it coward before u.
Amen i agree some.people feel.that emotionally abuse worser but i.had all of them none ir is good Thank God i had courage to leave its been over twenty year's never felt better i know what's its like be free
The movie Della did: (Chasing Secrets), was one of her best movies. My 84-year-old mother just cried her heart out. I cried too. She said that was the best movie she ever saw. I have the sweetest mother. She was abused. So was I. We know what abuse does to a women!! Oh, I became stronger and grew wiser. As did my mother. Just like with Della. May she R. I. P. God Love Her.
I’m living in an unheated garage, though I have blankets and a dog to keep me warm....I thank God. I was a abused by my husband for almost 10yrs who was an adult Sunday school teacher. I sit in my dining room table chair that was by the door for quick escape, my phone charged, my shoes ready, my dog leash, and a glass of water. It was so bad, once my husband started in, my dog knew the drill of going to the door to get out, we’d walk for hours rain, heat, or cold...until we knew he was passed out from his daily alcohol. He was life flighted to Tulsa icu from drinking and crashing a 4wheeler, was sent home from work for a week drunk, less than a yr later was fired. I use to look at the clock all day long counting the hours I had left till he came home. As soon as he got home until he passed out was hell. He didn’t persuade me that being a Christian was bad, though he did persuade me that I can be happier living in a garage. God bless others going through abuse, don’t waste your years thinking they’ll change even when they cause bad things to happen to themselves....if they won’t do it for themselves, they won’t do it for you. Every one is a child of God, straighten your crown and move on.
I am praying that God continue to cover you and your family furball; that he send people miraculously to elevate you to the life the enemy's so desperately trying to stop from you, and for Holy Spirit to manifest Himself as undeniable Friend to you. In JESUS name ~ Amen.
Amen i was married to a man was abusive to ma as well and when left him people ask.why and i told them because most people knew he was hard working man how he took care if me so some couldn't believe it when told them that's what i say about people they think money is everything if a person don't know how treat you might as well be living in cage.like animals because that's exactly how it is when they abuse you I'm glad iam free
My grandmother said she met Ms. Della Reese when she directed the choir at her church. My grandmother was also from River Rouge, MI. She remembered Mrs. Reese cried often because she was in an abusive marriage. May Ms. Della RIP 🙏❤
Shes absolutely right, when someone starts abusing you, you believe them when they say they are gonna kill you. If you've been there, you know exactly whats its like, otherwise you have no idea, no matter what people think. Its not the same until you've been in those shoes yourself. Awful, terrible physical and mental anguish all combined together, that you never forget, especially if the abuser stalks you or doesn't leave you alone. Its a horrible thing to go through.
I've always loved this woman..i first saw her really saw her on touched by an angel & something about her just seemed so real. I can relate to abuse & it does make you stronger..😏
my ex husband tried to beat me up I told him to go ahead and put a nice bruise on me and i was going to kill him and it was self defence he backed right off. Typical bully. If you think a many will kill you then you fight back don't ever be a victim
@@spaceghost8995 Heaven or hell...only 2 options..no purgatory,no disappearing act,no annilation...mosquitos are one thing..Man is another...eternal being.Heaven or hell is your destination.Jesus is your only hope for heaven..All have sinned and fall short of Gods glory.
I have walked in those same shoes. My husband at the time abuse me so many times. He almost killed me when he was shocking me. He tried to run me down with his truck. I have ear and eye damage because of the abuse. I went through a whole lot more. It didn't even stop there even after the divorce. The abuse finally did stop when our children grew up and had children of their own. I had to forgive him of the things that he did to me so I could have peace in my own heart, mind, spirit, and soul. I could not let bitterness destroy my life because of the bitterness he had inside of him. Forgiveness set us free.
Amen don't blame you because you are better off if don't have right one in your life all.men's not like that we as woman's need have feel more confidence about our self and then we will attract right one
It's incredibly difficult to find someone who REALLY understands the situation of being in that position, but she blew me away...couldn't possibly describe it better-!! That's EXACTLY how it is. The embarrassment of not being able to leave...like she said, FOR WHAT, to go to the streets...and funny how the one's judging you are the least likely to help!! How dare they?! That's another of the things that make being a victim of domestic abuse so horrible, the judgment of the world is probably the worst part and the part that shocked me the most...seeing the senseless critism, the ignorance and total lack of empathy. I bet if it happened to their daughter or loved one they'd think twice before pointing a finger. Not EVERYONE has a family that cares, or friends to turn to, a support system- because usually by the time the serpent has comfortably nestled around your neck, he'd used psychology to isolate you or drive them away. Interestingly mine's was a Gemini as well. I'm Gemini too, but it appears to me that there is a dark version of each sign. Us, Gemini's, represent intelligence and wit, so I can see how the "bad ones" can use it to their advantage, to manipulate their victims through cruel psychology. Bless her soul for speaking on this matter; might help shed some light on it, bring awareness.
That's not love because if man really love you he wouldn't treat you wrong in no way mentally emotionally and physically men's that abuse woman's they don't love themselves
1Pen Yes, you are so right. Im glad things are easier for women to get out of abusive relationships. My first husband said he'd kill me, etc. The police helped me and I havent seen him in 30 years. Ive been married to a wonderful husband for 20 years and have 3 great boys. You dont deserve to be a punching bags!
You are so right. In my opinion, It was the shame and embarrassment and women being trained to think that divorce and separation was a terrible thing. The dignity of the men being washed away and the people that the women could go to were afraid to suport them. Very sad! Now a days, women will have their entire family there in 5 minutes packing all of our belongings and telling us to leave and they'll make room.
She reminds me of so many of the beautiful and classy ladies of that time. Not without there faults but they were just so strong, principled and classy.
Someone I loved dearly died from seizures that resulted from a head injury she got from her abusive husband. She used to tell me growing up about her story and I vowed I would never stay in an abusive relationship. Never.
Della is SUCH AN INSPIRATION and has been her whole life as long as I’ve known her and I REALLY LOVED HER. I know she’s singing with a choir of Angels now. Rest in peace, Della❤️
I remember my mom being with someone who was abusive. That is why I am glad my husband is so good to me. One of my friends husband hit her so I have knocked him on his drunk but. I was like now u listen good I don't care if u call the cops God will be with me. and I am afraid of you cause my foster dad taught any man put a hand on a woman isn't much of a man I wasn't afraid at five I am sure not afraid now.
Who ever the interviewer was for this I hope she realized how blessed she was to have interviewed this amazing woman. Rest in Peace Ms. Della Reese. Oh Della, Della, Della!!!!! 🙏
Covert narcissist personality disorder. Their truly demonic and their destiny killers. Della Reese seemed so strong and I loved her on the show 'Touched by an angel' may she rest in peace.
I love ❤️ her so much She a wonderful woman Full of honesty and respect ✊ I really love her movies . Some men are so abusive . If they hit you once you forgive If they hit you twice then the woman allows it .some men are crocodile Tears .... they won't change . Unless a miracle happens ... Love ❤️ .
@@edglebennett6312 I'm a Gemini and I'm not a bad person. I get along with just about everybody. It kind of sucks to automatically be deemed unlikeable or bad by someone who makes assumptions and doesn't know anything about me other than my birthday. Shouldn't everyone be given a chance to get to know somebody before that person passes judgement on them?
@@kasshmoney4423 I'm talking about my personal experiences with them, get out of your feelings. All the ones I've met are dangerous male and female, you know it, if you didn't know it, you'd wouldn't have replied to my comment. And may I pass something to you. When you step into this public arena on youtube, you have to take the good and bad. And if I offended you. I'm sorry,my Man is a gemini and another person who I had an emationl affair with is also a Gemini. And yes I did pass judgement on a large swath of people, but all the one's I know are less than faithful to thier partners.
RIP Miss Della you just spoke to my soul from your beautiful resting place! My heart has been so broken and my heart aches but I will get through! Thank you beloved! Blessings always!
What a treasure. I wish I had given her more attention. So down to earth, so intelligent and kind. Listening to her talk about her life gives me a warm feeling like being around a family member, an aunt or my grandmother. God bless you. Rest in Peace.
I'm so glad she was able to stand firm and resolute in her decision to finally leave her abuser in spite of her family trying to convince her to do the opposite!
Amen and family and friends need mind their own business because easily for them say that because they are not in it let it happen to them be other way around no one would make me stay with a crazy man even if he was billionaire
Della Reese were a very strong beautiful black woman , and I'm glad she got out of a bad relationship related to a bad marriage vow that someone created stating that you should remain with an abuser for better or worse even death. I wonder what superior master wrote those vows. Thanks Miss Della for being honest and for not hiding behind a white wedding dress of lies. now I hope those who claim to know the Bible will truthfully know now WJ.W.D what Jesus would do, I believe Jesus would say save yourself. WakeUp! to all the believers and be silent no more. not even in church on manmade, humankind afflictions.
That's nothing but a lie because people don't get no understanding of word God don't prompt abusive realtionship if God is love how in world do people think he want you stay in craziness the devil is lier
Amen because she was one acting nutty in thin line between love hate now its some woman's our there to that's not rap tight that's why so important wait on God do it because you will suffer consequences if you don't
PrayerDaily She has but not an autobiography. I pray she has done so at this point in her life. Maybe get husband will put the book out. She has amazing stories and an amazing life.
Funny story at the end Della. But you are are a tough lady and most importantly you believe in God. Tough times do not last but touch people do. Keep going on Della. Keep strong and God bless.
Some men are like that, they smile and act friendly outside, but inside the house, the insults, the threats and demeaning behavior is horrible. I believe men that pretend to be good husbands and fathers will meet karma along the way. You cant part this earth unless you ask god to forgive you from that pretentious behavior.
'Strong' lady with the ability to make sound decisions!!! As did I; never looked back.....the ability to make such life saving decisions are our strengths!
I certainly know what she was saying. Been there many, many years ago. Della was a God-inspired woman and I got so much inspiration from watching her Up Church videos.
Being Gemini has nothing to do with a Jekyll and Hyde personality. This man was a Narcissist, like my Ex as well. Mine was a Covert Narcissist, and Bi-Polar too. I knew nothing of either illness. Very scary because you sense it will turn dangerous if you try to leave. I wanted a divorce, and he got the neighbor (a nasty vicious man who was abusive himself) to serve me with divorce papers on Valentine's Day. Just because he wanted to give me a hard time with a court that was way out of my area. The bi polar issues too, OMG! I survived all that. But he lied to my family, my parents, my friends, and my kids about me. I was completely alone in the world. So sad. Long after the divorce, they discovered what a nasty man he was. Now he is alone, of his own choosing. I feel sorry for him actually. I totally understand. 100%. You have my support, dear lady.
Amen i agree a person sign has nothing to do with them being nutty because most them are like that has deep roothed issues its started at child hood because lot men's was abuse by parents or family member or just have mental issues in family tree
That last part...so many women keep themselves from their own freedom for empty threats from their abuser of self harm. A true narcissist will NEVER do themselves a harm. They WILL try every single thing to reel you back in. If you were strong enough to leave, you are strong enough to stay gone. Pray through the moments you think you'll go back and let it pass. It will make you stronger and wiser each and EVERY time! God can help you break free!!!
Amen.i was in different abusive realtionship and marriage but thank God the Lord have set me free and.show me how love me I'm single for awhile i don't desires a realtionship at all unless God sent
Its embarrassing to think that Della Reese was abused. I would believe by seeing her performances, especially in "Harlem Nights" that she could or would be abused.
Amen This what i just said in my comment but its go show you that can't go by how person look because smallest person can surprise you the strength they have
Nobody will believe that some of the sweetest and more respectful men are monsters in there home to there partners.
Mm imma witness. It's my life imma nutshell. Most time I let ppl see it for themselves.he loses friends.
If he's a MONSTER He's Not SWEET or RESPECTFUL! ACTIONS ALWAYS SPEAKS LOUDER!!! .....
Not are not sweet or respectful, it is an act.

yes of course if someone abuses you ---you are not secure, you feel bad about yourself, the last thing you have is self confidence.

Amen been there before more thsn once but thank God im free
VERBAL VIOLENCE is Abusive ,just as much or more than physical violence. Deep deep scars that no one can see ,few can understand.

I’m Taurus but Gemini rising thank GOD I’m grounded coz my Gemini is problematic for me-it makes me think kid in a candy store I want this n this n this as I flit from item to item 😝and I’ll not date another Gemini man sun sign again! 🤔🙏🏻😝🤨
She's funny and very much the real deal. She sends a powerful message on respecting yourself.
Yes she does. Period.
Omg
You definitely got to love and respect your self
@@isisheggs8065 what's the point when no one else does? Be honest. Don't give some cliche or beat around the bush answer please.
@@kassandrasabean6020 what are you talking about?!
Oh Miss Della...I wished I had opened my window.
My abusive ex nearly killed me after 10 yrs of mental, financial and psychological abuse plus hitting on our kids. Our pastor said divorce was not an option and my faith was so strong I believed him.Finally after a broken eardrum, eye socket and facial bones.. I left and had him arrested and convicted and he spent time in prison. My children suffered greatly those yrs and still bear the scars although strong and proud and lots of momma's prayers, both graduating college in the medical field..praise God.
A woman should never ever STAY with abuse...everyone suffers and she is risking her life..I wish I could have spoken with Della...we could have had a few related bittersweet laughs...see ya when I get there ma'am.
You’re stronger than me I would’ve killed him
I'm so glad you were able to get out of the situation
I am a survivor as well, twice done. I was told wrong at church, too. This is an area the Church HAS to wake up to (and I can see that some are beginning to, finally).
people still say divorce is not an option today and i see those people killing each other or worse.
Spewing that bulls$@t from the pulpit.
A story for modern women from a woman who found her blessings. Abuse is a disease and it is contagious. Fight it, and stand up against it and defend those who don't know how to defend themselves.
This comment is philosophically accurate and you needed more upvotes! Most abusers were abused and they usually are the less resilient types. Some opt to be feared if they don't believe they can be loved. Of course most reactions are not deeply thought through and are deeply rooted. When you have the feeling or reality of little choice but to deal with abuse, it shapes you under pressure to survive. That's why a lot of mental abuse victims show traits of their abusers. It's something we need to teach children in school and emphasis more in life: coping skills and how the mind becomes dysfunctional.
@Drewasme
Well said! Thank you for phrasing the words the way you did
Stay safe
bless you all and know you are in my heart. we are one
Domestic abuse should fall in the category of sexually transmitted diseases.
Because abusers go on to abuse new partners and commit other dating violence
Beautiful 💜
Omg..she is such a powerful woman. Such authority in her tone..yet so much humor in her words.
I have been through this. She speaks the truth. Your life is forever changed as far as how you perceive the world. I have not dated in the last 5 years and I do not plan to. I feel some peace just being by myself.
It’s nice feeling and being in peace
You deserve that
But you also deserve love as well
Don’t allow him or them to take you future away from you
I have to remind myself of this sometimes
I wish you the best
Same here. I understand that feeling of peace after getting out of abuse. I’ve been single and uncommitted for 11 years now. Very, very happy I am. Being single frees me in so many ways. I’m glad you’re choosing yourself. Nothing worse than getting caught in another nightmare!
🙏 Elaine. Sounds like me.😂😂😂
I’m right with U Elaine ! 10 years with a Narc 🤣I’ve been 4 years alone and I’ve never been happier !
RIP Della. Your wisdom and beauty was a blessing to us from God. You're home with our Lord! ❤
Yes mama. Not putting up with all those lies. Love doesn't leave marks and bruises. I am glad she escape from that lying devil.
Amen me to because i rather be by myself than let a man treat me like dirt but as woman's need make wise choices when we see frist sign need hit the door even before get to marriage while you are dating them because that's sure sign that's how they going be when marry them
R.I.P Della Reese. You Will Truly Be Missed!
Amen 🙏😇
So very right!! An abuser will cut your self-esteem so low that even the thought of leaving is terrifying.. R.I.P Della!! You were one strong lady!! God Bless You!
That might be true but better leave if you value your life
It is not embarrassing. The enemy want you to feel embarrassed. So, you will stay in that mess, and so you won't share your story with others in order to help them come out of an abusive relationship.
They say it’s embarrassed for them to feel like they were worthless, not necessarily sharing it is embarrassing but the fact that they stayed so long
@@betterfad3d Either way it is no reason to feel embarrassed about your experience like I said. I have been in several different abusive relationships, and I'm speaking from experience. The enemy (satan) will try to make you feel embarrassed, to keep you in the situation. And to keep you from telling other people about your experience in order to help them. He want you to stay in that toxic and unhealthy relationship and mindset. Because he don't want you to receive what God have for you, and don't want you to share with people how God brought you out.
@@betterfad3d I wasn't belittling victims of abuse whatsoever, or what they feel, or what they have experienced. Now have a blessed day.
@@ladennayoung2939 ohh okay I get you now! You have a blessed one too ! 😇
She is so honest
Hmmm.....the man got to go to sleep sometime.....Hmmm.....My cast iron skillet don't just fry chicken!! Ladies, if a man strikes you one time, then it's either him or you. He's declared all out war on you. Don't wait for the second blow, because believe me, it's coming. Wake up, don't be a fool. Get out, get away, respect yourself, after the very first time he shows you what he is.
Elizabeth Morgan all damn day!
Elizabeth Morgan My sister u should give a class.
Women got to be educated about this problem. Why do women take crap off men? Not just women, but young girls taking crap off boys, disrespecting themselves by allowing the boys to treat them bad. Women, respect who you are, what you are, you don't need a male to make you worth while. You ARE worth while and you deserve the best!! Nothing less! I would love to give classes. I'm writing a book about this now that I've retired from teaching. I've seen too many women hurt and abused and they allow it to continue. Only women can stand up for themselves and for each other and say, "Enough is enough!! Treat me right, or get out of my life!!" Do it early and do it soon. If you don't value yourself, nobody else will.
Elizabeth Morgan I can't add nothing else to that. You are absolutely right.
PREACH. And these men be actin' a fool, forgetting that you prepare their meals. Just meditate on THAT 4 a moment . . . hot GRITS or deep FRIED fish anyone??!!
I love this woman, I can listen to her all day.
Amen
Yes, she reminds me of my late great grandmother Gi Gi. One night we stayed up the entire night and I just listened to her reminisce and tell stories about her life. Simply priceless.
Abuse whether emotional, verbal, mental, or physical is a dark evil spirit. Its best to find s way of getting away from it. There is a lot of help these days. The challenge among many is to face the fear and stand up to it. Watch it coward before u.
Amen. That's what it is
@@startinajackson606 Amen
Amen i agree some.people feel.that emotionally abuse worser but i.had all of them none ir is good Thank God i had courage to leave its been over twenty year's never felt better i know what's its like be free
The movie Della did: (Chasing Secrets), was one of her best movies. My 84-year-old mother just cried her heart out. I cried too. She said that was the best movie she ever saw. I have the sweetest mother. She was abused. So was I. We know what abuse does to a women!! Oh, I became stronger and grew wiser. As did my mother. Just like with Della. May she R. I. P. God Love Her.
I’m living in an unheated garage, though I have blankets and a dog to keep me warm....I thank God. I was a abused by my husband for almost 10yrs who was an adult Sunday school teacher. I sit in my dining room table chair that was by the door for quick escape, my phone charged, my shoes ready, my dog leash, and a glass of water. It was so bad, once my husband started in, my dog knew the drill of going to the door to get out, we’d walk for hours rain, heat, or cold...until we knew he was passed out from his daily alcohol. He was life flighted to Tulsa icu from drinking and crashing a 4wheeler, was sent home from work for a week drunk, less than a yr later was fired. I use to look at the clock all day long counting the hours I had left till he came home. As soon as he got home until he passed out was hell. He didn’t persuade me that being a Christian was bad, though he did persuade me that I can be happier living in a garage. God bless others going through abuse, don’t waste your years thinking they’ll change even when they cause bad things to happen to themselves....if they won’t do it for themselves, they won’t do it for you. Every one is a child of God, straighten your crown and move on.
God bless you...He delivered you...thank God you have your dog.
I am praying that God continue to cover you and your family furball; that he send people miraculously to elevate you to the life the enemy's so desperately trying to stop from you, and for Holy Spirit to manifest Himself as undeniable Friend to you.
In JESUS name ~ Amen.
There may be battered women shelters near you that can help directly or 👉🏾point you to the direction of help.
~Blessings~
I loved this interview! Many women who’ve been abused can relate. You have to reach that stage of tiredness that makes you leave and never turn back.
But don't wait til point he almost kill you get out head of time better yet when see frist sign while dating him run.fast
Those men are evil. I was married to one like him. Wonderful to everyone outside the home. Crazy.
They have demonic spirits attached to them too
Two words covert narcissist.
Aquarians are the same way also.
Amen i was married to a man was abusive to ma as well and when left him people ask.why and i told them because most people knew he was hard working man how he took care if me so some couldn't believe it when told them that's what i say about people they think money is everything if a person don't know how treat you might as well be living in cage.like animals because that's exactly how it is when they abuse you I'm glad iam free
My grandmother said she met Ms. Della Reese when she directed the choir at her church. My grandmother was also from River Rouge, MI. She remembered Mrs. Reese cried often because she was in an abusive marriage. May Ms. Della RIP 🙏❤
Shes absolutely right, when someone starts abusing you, you believe them when they say they are gonna kill you. If you've been there, you know exactly whats its like, otherwise you have no idea, no matter what people think. Its not the same until you've been in those shoes yourself. Awful, terrible physical and mental anguish all combined together, that you never forget, especially if the abuser stalks you or doesn't leave you alone. Its a horrible thing to go through.
Exactly👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I've always loved this woman..i first saw her really saw her on touched by an angel & something about her just seemed so real. I can relate to abuse & it does make you stronger..😏
my ex husband tried to beat me up I told him to go ahead and put a nice bruise on me and i was going to kill him and it was self defence he backed right off. Typical bully. If you think a many will kill you then you fight back don't ever be a victim
you can still be a victim and fright back
Amen but its best get out don't look back
It doesn't matter anymore miss reese is free from all pain and sorrow, she's in heaven happy and free.
She isn't anywhere. Once the body dies you cease to exist. Just like a mosquito when you swat it. No different.
@@spaceghost8995 let people believe what they want! No one really knows what happens once we die, so hush!
@@spaceghost8995
Heaven or hell...only 2 options..no purgatory,no disappearing act,no annilation...mosquitos are one thing..Man is another...eternal being.Heaven or hell is your destination.Jesus is your only hope for heaven..All have sinned and fall short of Gods glory.
Amen but at least she was happy before she left this world
R.I.P. Gone But Never Ever Forgotten.
I respect Della sooooo much!! God bless her!
I have walked in those same shoes. My husband at the time abuse me so many times. He almost killed me when he was shocking me. He tried to run me down with his truck. I have ear and eye damage because of the abuse. I went through a whole lot more. It didn't even stop there even after the divorce. The abuse finally did stop when our children grew up and had children of their own. I had to forgive him of the things that he did to me so I could have peace in my own heart, mind, spirit, and soul. I could not let bitterness destroy my life because of the bitterness he had inside of him. Forgiveness set us free.
Amen ♥️
LOL@the end!😂😂😂 What a strong woman!
DaPhlyymamee my grandma said when enough is enough it's enough......so true. I've had enough😂😂😂beautiful story
I had to run from my 2 marriages too. the abuse was just as worst as first marriage. I've been single for years now and I don't regret.
Amen don't blame you because you are better off if don't have right one in your life all.men's not like that we as woman's need have feel more confidence about our self and then we will attract right one
@@fredajohnson506 Yes 👏🏾 exactly. You have spoken well
It's incredibly difficult to find someone who REALLY understands the situation of being in that position, but she blew me away...couldn't possibly describe it better-!! That's EXACTLY how it is. The embarrassment of not being able to leave...like she said, FOR WHAT, to go to the streets...and funny how the one's judging you are the least likely to help!! How dare they?! That's another of the things that make being a victim of domestic abuse so horrible, the judgment of the world is probably the worst part and the part that shocked me the most...seeing the senseless critism, the ignorance and total lack of empathy. I bet if it happened to their daughter or loved one they'd think twice before pointing a finger. Not EVERYONE has a family that cares, or friends to turn to, a support system- because usually by the time the serpent has comfortably nestled around your neck, he'd used psychology to isolate you or drive them away.
Interestingly mine's was a Gemini as well. I'm Gemini too, but it appears to me that there is a dark version of each sign. Us, Gemini's, represent intelligence and wit, so I can see how the "bad ones" can use it to their advantage, to manipulate their victims through cruel psychology.
Bless her soul for speaking on this matter; might help shed some light on it, bring awareness.
There is something seriously wrong, when a man feels the need to lay harmful threatening hands on the woman he supposed to love.
That's not love because if man really love you he wouldn't treat you wrong in no way mentally emotionally and physically men's that abuse woman's they don't love themselves
That's because weak, ineffectual men seek control, and dominace to hide their "bitch-ass" personal weaknesses! Sorry for swearing, y'all......
@@BrianCScott-br2cu There's some truth in your comment, no need to be sorry.
different times then,. women often stayed not because they wanted to, there wasn't support that their is today,
1Pen Yes, you are so right. Im glad things are easier for women to get out of abusive relationships. My first husband said he'd kill me, etc. The police helped me and I havent seen him in 30 years. Ive been married to a wonderful husband for 20 years and have 3 great boys. You dont deserve to be a punching bags!
1Pen
He passed out and gma sewed gpa up in the sheets lol
You are so right. In my opinion, It was the shame and embarrassment and women being trained to think that divorce and separation was a terrible thing. The dignity of the men being washed away and the people that the women could go to were afraid to suport them. Very sad!
Now a days, women will have their entire family there in 5 minutes packing all of our belongings and telling us to leave and they'll make room.
@@mpaxton8991 Congratulations!!!
I love this woman!
I wish I would have had the privilege of meeting her.
She reminds me of so many of the beautiful and classy ladies of that time. Not without there faults but they were just so strong, principled and classy.
She opened that damn window some more I know that’s right 😩😩😂😂😂 true Detroit woman
That's funny but her ex wasn't going kill himself he just wanted her feel sorry for him
@@fredajohnson506 Facts. She didn’t fall into the trap😭
Love this lady . She is right sadly missed
Someone I loved dearly died from seizures that resulted from a head injury she got from her abusive husband. She used to tell me growing up about her story and I vowed I would never stay in an abusive relationship. Never.
RIP Queen!!!!
omg she was comedy goal. her opening that window is what i call "lemme help you out"
She completely exposed his deceit! Love her spirit.
Ohhh I love that!!! She opened the window bigger and called the manipulative cowards bluff! He said oh nevermind nevermind....
I know that's right he love him self enough not to die he wanted her sympathy its didnt work
Della is SUCH AN INSPIRATION and has been her whole life as long as I’ve known her and I REALLY LOVED HER. I know she’s singing with a choir of Angels now. Rest in peace, Della❤️
I remember my mom being with someone who was abusive. That is why I am glad my husband is so good to me. One of my friends husband hit her so I have knocked him on his drunk but. I was like now u listen good I don't care if u call the cops God will be with me. and I am afraid of you cause my foster dad taught any man put a hand on a woman isn't much of a man I wasn't afraid at five I am sure not afraid now.
Amen men's hit on woman's are Crowley
So many people go through this we will never know unless they tell their story
Amen I'm one of them its wasn't like her but its was bad enough leave because I fear my life
I can soooo relate!!!! Love Della Reese, I miss you, sooooo much.😢😢💜💜
Amen its don't matter if its mentally, physically, emotionally none.of its good
Who ever the interviewer was for this I hope she realized how blessed she was to have interviewed this amazing woman. Rest in Peace Ms. Della Reese. Oh Della, Della, Della!!!!! 🙏
Rest in peace, Della Reese
Covert narcissist personality disorder. Their truly demonic and their destiny killers. Della Reese seemed so strong and I loved her on the show 'Touched by an angel' may she rest in peace.
Abuse is wrong God bless you Della RIP
Amen how can anyone thinks God would permit you stay in that mess he wouldn't because he sends some one to you he love you the way supposed be
I love ❤️ her so much
She a wonderful woman
Full of honesty and respect ✊
I really love her movies .
Some men are so abusive .
If they hit you once you forgive
If they hit you twice then the woman allows it .some men are crocodile
Tears .... they won't change .
Unless a miracle happens ...
Love ❤️ .
n
I just love the wisdom of Della Reese, she is resting in peace.
Della crazy. She went and opened up the window. Rip.
Amen because she knew he wasn't going do it
He changed his mind altogether 😆 She's a gem 🌠
That last incident she shared is a testament that there is life after pain. Her laughter is infectious. ❤️
When you’re truly over something, you can comfortably tell the truth about all parts of it... even the parts that would embarrass most
Right
Amen been there before
“ he was a Gemini absolutely “
Gemini is by far the worst people on EARTH!!!!!!!!!!! No doubt about.
@@edglebennett6312 I'm a Gemini and I'm not a bad person. I get along with just about everybody. It kind of sucks to automatically be deemed unlikeable or bad by someone who makes assumptions and doesn't know anything about me other than my birthday. Shouldn't everyone be given a chance to get to know somebody before that person passes judgement on them?
@@kasshmoney4423 I'm talking about my personal experiences with them, get out of your feelings. All the ones I've met are dangerous male and female, you know it, if you didn't know it, you'd wouldn't have replied to my comment. And may I pass something to you. When you step into this public arena on youtube, you have to take the good and bad. And if I offended you. I'm sorry,my Man is a gemini and another person who I had an emationl affair with is also a Gemini. And yes I did pass judgement on a large swath of people, but all the one's I know are less than faithful to thier partners.
I have more to say, but I'm at work.
I understand your point,but unfortunately, this is the world we live in.
RIP Miss Della you just spoke to my soul from your beautiful resting place! My heart has been so broken and my heart aches but I will get through! Thank you beloved! Blessings always!
Yes, you will get through.
What a treasure. I wish I had given her more attention. So down to earth, so intelligent and kind. Listening to her talk about her life gives me a warm feeling like being around a family member, an aunt or my grandmother. God bless you. Rest in Peace.
I'm so glad she was able to stand firm and resolute in her decision to finally leave her abuser in spite of her family trying to convince her to do the opposite!
Amen and family and friends need mind their own business because easily for them say that because they are not in it let it happen to them be other way around no one would make me stay with a crazy man even if he was billionaire
Della Reese were a very strong beautiful black woman , and I'm glad she got out of a bad relationship related to a bad marriage vow that someone created stating that you should remain with an abuser for better or worse even death. I wonder what superior master wrote those vows. Thanks Miss Della for being honest and for not hiding behind a white wedding dress of lies. now I hope those who claim to know the Bible will truthfully know now WJ.W.D what Jesus would do, I believe Jesus would say save yourself. WakeUp! to all the believers and be silent no more. not even in church on manmade, humankind afflictions.
That's nothing but a lie because people don't get no understanding of word God don't prompt abusive realtionship if God is love how in world do people think he want you stay in craziness the devil is lier
Yes, Della is the real deal! I met her many times. Class act lady. Will always be in my heart!
I'm very thankful you spoke out, and even more that you got out, because God had other plans for you.
Amen because if hadn't no telling what could of happen
Her charisma is just unmistakable. ❤️
This came at the exact right moment!
Lynn Whitfield should play her in a biopic
Amen because she was one acting nutty in thin line between love hate now its some woman's our there to that's not rap tight that's why so important wait on God do it because you will suffer consequences if you don't
Such an awesome testimony
goes to show you never no what goes on in other people homes ( rest in peace Ms. Della )
She should write a book!
PrayerDaily She has but not an autobiography. I pray she has done so at this point in her life. Maybe get husband will put the book out. She has amazing stories and an amazing life.
Amen i could to but i witness to a lot younger women after what went through
Some are not capable of violence ...some are. When one shows they are , give them the gift of your absence.
Funny story at the end Della. But you are are a tough lady and most importantly you believe in God. Tough times do not last but touch people do. Keep going on Della. Keep strong and God bless.
Some men are like that, they smile and act friendly outside, but inside the house, the insults, the threats and demeaning behavior is horrible. I believe men that pretend to be good husbands and fathers will meet karma along the way. You cant part this earth unless you ask god to forgive you from that pretentious behavior.
Amen That's so true because they want people on outside and even own family believe that they are so kind to you all its is big foney
Rest in peace, I'm sorry she was in abuse relationship for all those years.
Yes you never know what people going through its don't matter who they are but least she had sence to leave
I could hear her before I even hit PLAY. Such a distinctive voice that you never forget!
she reminds me of my late grandmother....southern black woman with native ancestry...very beautiful...even in old age
Sis. Della I love you to life. Stop opening them windows.
I love her so much..
'Strong' lady with the ability to make sound decisions!!! As did I; never looked back.....the ability to make such life saving decisions are our strengths!
I will always love you MS Della. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I certainly know what she was saying. Been there many, many years ago. Della was a God-inspired woman and I got so much inspiration from watching her Up Church videos.
Being Gemini has nothing to do with a Jekyll and Hyde personality. This man was a Narcissist, like my Ex as well. Mine was a Covert Narcissist, and Bi-Polar too. I knew nothing of either illness. Very scary because you sense it will turn dangerous if you try to leave. I wanted a divorce, and he got the neighbor (a nasty vicious man who was abusive himself) to serve me with divorce papers on Valentine's Day. Just because he wanted to give me a hard time with a court that was way out of my area. The bi polar issues too, OMG! I survived all that. But he lied to my family, my parents, my friends, and my kids about me. I was completely alone in the world. So sad. Long after the divorce, they discovered what a nasty man he was. Now he is alone, of his own choosing. I feel sorry for him actually. I totally understand. 100%. You have my support, dear lady.
Gemini’s are notoriouse for 2 faced being people. My mother is a gem and my son and she even admitted being 2 faced.
Amen i agree a person sign has nothing to do with them being nutty because most them are like that has deep roothed issues its started at child hood because lot men's was abuse by parents or family member or just have mental issues in family tree
That last part...so many women keep themselves from their own freedom for empty threats from their abuser of self harm. A true narcissist will NEVER do themselves a harm. They WILL try every single thing to reel you back in. If you were strong enough to leave, you are strong enough to stay gone. Pray through the moments you think you'll go back and let it pass. It will make you stronger and wiser each and EVERY time! God can help you break free!!!
Spot on 🎯!
Amen.i was in different abusive realtionship and marriage but thank God the Lord have set me free and.show me how love me I'm single for awhile i don't desires a realtionship at all unless God sent
Its embarrassing to think that Della Reese was abused. I would believe by seeing her performances, especially in "Harlem Nights" that she could or would be abused.
Amen This what i just said in my comment but its go show you that can't go by how person look because smallest person can surprise you the strength they have
Della Reese is an amazing woman. God bless her.
She was a beautiful person. God and I , love her.
Its sad a wonderful person like Della got a abused but its awesome her family supported her dont mess with a family like that.
Such a powerful woman....she has lots of courage and strength...
Only God can give you strength to leave but so many still chose stay because the man brain wash them
@@fredajohnson506 idk... cause sometimes the individual living circumstances play a factor; financial difficulties, illegal status, and etc... so idk.
R.I.P Mrs Della Reese. The world has lost a great lady.
RIP Della, God bless you for sharing your story because other women will take a stand against the abuse they may suffer physical or verbal.
Amen and have strength get our and stay out
I always wanted Ms. Della Reese to be my Mama. Forever Loved. ❤🎉
