This picture is in no way making fun of domestic violence sufferers. If anything I hope it brings awareness. Disrespect is not intended.

Not sure what to say about this...it is powerful but the title is all wrong...should be more like I know when it's time to say good bye...I hope this is photo shopped and not an actual photo.
I am sorry for any woman who tolerates this abuse and feels she is loved.

  Yes it is photoshopped. I wanted to create awareness for all the women out there in that type of situation. Im glad you thought it was real, it means I did good editing :] I like the title, even though its sad, because its true. So many women make the excuse that 'He loves them' despite the pain being inflicted on them and it takes them that much longer to leave.

  I can always tell your work! Very sad and very true. I agree, powerful is the right word!

  Thank you Wendy. My work is not received as well on Betterphoto as it is on other sites. Most people take offense to the stuff I create. But to me, Art needs to speak, step on toes, FORCE you to say something. Betterphoto is a bit too conservative for my darker side lol.
