Feedback Providing support for victims of domestic violence,
Tess, I know its been a long while since you have gotten out of your abusive relationship with an ex pro-wrestler. But, I just found out about your site thru a friend a few days ago. I hope you are still keeping up with helping with domestic violence. I think that's a really good thing for you to do. I do remember hearing you speak of your relationship a few years ago. The things you said were frightening. I'll admit I am a fan of your ex. But, I'll also admit that as a female viewer I find myself wondering why I am a fan. Because not to long ago his ex wife said things..and it was so familiar to everything you said a few years earlier. A definite eye opener to the guy I used to adore.. One we as fans don't want to admit. Now days when he comes out on occasion .. I still find myself clapping, I think just out of pure habit. But, while I'm clapping I also find myself thinking, why am I clapping for this man? Anyway I think its just a habit and old habits die hard. My point to all this is. I know its been awhile since you were in that relationship but its great you are helping women in the same circumstance. Also I am very glad to see you moved on with your life and are happy. Also,congrats on your baby daughter.All the best to you Tess. Tess I just want to start out by saying that I’m not a great speller. So if you have a problem reading this I'm sorry. I must admit that the only reason why I logged on to your website is cause I just got done watching one of your movies and it had your website in the ending credits. So I logged on looking for pics of you. I read your Bio and the Feed back and I think what your doing is great for you and women like you. I have sat back a watched some of my closest friends and family members getting hurt mentally and physically (for ex. my father used to yell and complain about my mother on how she can't cook that well and that she didn't pay the bills on time and a bunch more stupid stuff like that. Not once did he get up off his rear end to try and help her cook or anything else. Meanwhile my mom worked one full time job and one part time job for thirteen hours a day. Then she would come home cook for my brother, my father and me. My father sat and watched T.V. all day 7 days a week.) To me my mom is an angel and she always made me proud of her and added with the word (Respect) especially regarding women. I'm not that good at giving advice either, that's why I usually sit back and wait to see if that person will ask me for my advice, or if I think someone gone to far, then. I step in a do something. For another esp. (My best friend Kelly got into a fight with some girl over her ex cause he was cheating on her. I knew he was, but I didn't want to say anything to her because I didn't want to hurt her feelings. So I stayed out of it until I found out that he punched her in the face and in the stomach, which cause her lose her baby. That’s when I lost my mind and got locked up for beating the crap out of him. I find most men hit women cause they know that they can't fight, and women are the only ones they can beat up. Well, any way I think that you should go in the books as an angle. Cause not only do you look like one; you act like one too by help all those in need of help. I wish to help your foundation. Bye Bye From Patrick of N.J Tess, I'm from Sweden, Gothenburg....a very cold country...BRRRR!!!!! I'M 27 yrs old. I have been involved with a man from Serbia who abused me for 3 yrs. He always said," You are too fat! You stink at everything you do. My-exgirlfriend is so much better than you!" When dinner wasn't on the table when he came home he would hit me and say that I suck. Men from Yugoslavia are known by their lack of respect for women. You see, I had my own abusive parter at home, but thank God I got smart and I was able to kick him out. How did you break free from him? When I came across your webpage, I so, so wanted to ask you things, but wasn't sure if you'd return my emails. I'll send you a pic of me so you know who sending you this email. Have a nice day. Your friend,
Personally, I feel that what you are doing is fantastic. You
are genuine. I want to thankyou for sharing your thoughts & compassion
for abuse victims and animals. After years of counseling those
on the suicide hotline, which is very intense, I LOVED sharing,
exchanging insight with you. You are really cool Tess...you have
so many edges to your pesonality...very remarkable , & we haven't
even been formally introduced yet. You know Tess, you are wonderfully sensual and
glamourous and beautiful and sexy and alluring in a thousand ways....but
to me, you are adorable and cute and kind and that is why I love
writing to, about and for you...I really feel that you are kind
and gentle and those are the most wonderful qualtities any of us
can have and you have them in abundance... Hi Tess- I do not believe in a man hitting a woman, as a matter of fact, I don't think that he's much of a man if he does hit a woman. I know what it's like to be hit by a man, I had my thumb jerked out of place by a man I cared for needless to say, he is long gone. I'm sorry that you were hurt. I do support your cause. May God bless you & take care Julie Hi Tess, Anyway Tess, have a great life and i'll be
following your career. If you think it would be ok I would love to have a souvenir
picture of you ! Tess, It was great to hear from you!! Yes, I have been in an abusive relationship. It's been almost a year ago now. He was mentally abusive and didn't like me leaving the house. He tried very hard to seclude me from my family and friends. He also tried to make me be exactly what he wanted me to be rather than just letting me be myself. I could only handle that for about 11 months and I got out. I have a son and at that time he was 7 years old...and the mental abuse started on him as well..that's when I didn't hesitate and got out. But,on the surface he seemed like a really nice guy...to those around him that's what they thought he was. But,after I moved in with him and we got married a short time after..his dark side didn't take long to surface.
For you fans & viewers out there Tess asks " Did you know.." Domestic Violence Now Constitutes Sex Discrimination Under Law Press Release: “This important ruling will ensure that when a woman is victimized by domestic violence, she is not doubly victimized with eviction as a result,” said Emily Martin, a staff attorney with the ACLU Women’s Rights Project. “For the first time, a court has ruled that under the Fair Housing Act, a woman cannot be thrown out of her home because she was battered.” The defendant in the case agreed to settlement shortly after the federal court issued a first-of-its-kind ruling that discriminating against victims of domestic violence constitutes sex discrimination under the Fair Housing Act. The ACLU maintains that the principle set out in the federal judge’s ruling should be applicable to other areas of the law and believes that the federal judge’s ruling will help battered women everywhere take the steps they need to keep themselves and their families safe. “Women who have been abused need to be protected from their abuser, not penalized for surviving the assault,” said Lenora Lapidus, Director of the ACLU Women’s Rights Project. “If women know that seeking help won’t jeopardize their home or their job, they are far better able to escape from violent relationships.” Legal documents from Bouley v. Young-Sabourin are available online. The Women’s Rights Project has been involved in litigating many cases relating to domestic violence and housing discrimination. The cases and accompanying materials are available online. An ACLU fact sheet on Housing Discrimination and Domestic Violence is available online Dear Tess, There is so much work to be done in the area of mental health and treatment. This poem reflects my own personal experience. Best, Measuring Bipolar A visit, a chat Prescriptions jotted Websites scoured But is it in graphs or charts You want to believe that deep within But deep in the night Hey Tess, I apologize if I have said something.
Be it weird, creepy, or too forward. I apologize and would just
like to tell you I didn't mean for it to sound like that. I was
just
being sincere and trying to get to know you better. Still I apologize
if it made you feel like i was a crazed fan LOL. I truly didn't
mean at all for you to feel in anyway negative towards me. I will
understand if you do not reply to this email. If that is the case
it was a pleasure talking to you. Take care, have fun, and good
luck with everything. Bye bye. Matt Hey Tess, "I noticed you are very involved with the animal shelter. I am too here in Louisville. It gives me such a good feeling to help abused, homeless animals." -Christian from KY The fact that you don't charge a membership fee and you are trying to help others is as beautiful a thing as your lovely face.
