I know religion in general tends to be patriarchal, but if you teach your girls they don’t need a man to be whole, that is the best life lesson you can give them. If they grow up to be self-sufficient & independent, they won’t ever be in a position where a man can treat them like the woman in the music video. Just my opinion.

As a survivor of domestic violence, I relate to this song. When it first came out, it took my breath away. I still cry whoever I see this video or hear the song.

@mj95b 16 күн бұрын

My daddy was the best man I've ever known. My sissy & I grew up surrounded by large, hard men who would have killed to protect us. We both married men who fooled us and we were abused (I had a broken nose, fractures on my skull and cheek and miscarried two babies. I literally joined the Army to get away from my husband. It took me two whole years to get divorced from him ( 4 years married in total). My second husband was a soldier and we've been together almost 40 years and he would never ever lay a hand on me. My sister took longer to divorce her husband but she has now been single for almost 35 years and she has never had another relationship with a man. My sister and I literally never knew that a man would treat us the way they did since my father or uncles and all of our calabash uncles would never have lifted a hand to a woman. We never told our father because he would have been thrown in prison for murder of two men.

Great reaction! This is considered Martina's signature song! It's hard to believe it is 30 years old! It peaked at #12 on the Country charts because radio stations didn't want to play a song about domestic violence. But it won CMA Video of the Year in 1994 and Song of the Year in 1995! Rolling Stone ranked it at #45 on the 100 Greatest County Songs of All Time in 2024.

As someone born to this country one of the most touching experiences of my life was going to the Federal Courthouse and watching a naturalization ceremony. Seeing the excitement, joy and passion of our newest citizens (who had to jump through considerable hoops and work for it) was inspirational and emotional.

@teresamar9262 15 күн бұрын

What a lot of people don't realize (or forget) is: everyone has their breaking point. If no one is going to listen or help you then sometimes you get to the point where you can't take it anymore and decide that you're the only one you can depend on to change things or you just decide like the mother does to take the person out (unfortunately for her daughter herself as well). I thankfully never got to my breaking point when I was relentlessly bullied for several years. No one would listen they just told me to suck it up, ignore the bullies, and remember that they were just doing it for attention or to make themselves feel better. Before I reached my breaking point I was moved to a new school for high school and few of my bullies were there and those that were couldn't get away with it due to the smaller size of the school. That being said I completely understand the desperation (though being bullied and being a victim of domestic violence is not the same thing, it's just as isolating, and gives you the need for escape)

Every time I hear this song I get tears in my eyes. I am not a person who cries but this song hits so close to home. I grew up with a military dad who was always deployed, and a step dad who was extremely physically and psychologically abusive. I intern grew up to enter a relationship with someone who literally almost ended my life. Now I am constantly trying to show my children how relationships are supposed to be, in hopes that this cycle of abuse ends with me. It is very important for you to show your girls how women are supposed to be treated. Not just with your relationship with them but also with how you treat their mother. I can't emphasize that enough for the men and women in my life, show your kids how relationships are supposed to be so they don't grow up to see toxicity, abuse and neglect as normal.

I grew up without a father. I watched my mom and my sister be beaten bloody. They kept leaving but would date basically the same guy with a different name. It never happened to me. For me, it felt that because I was strong, knew my worth, refused to settle, was confident that it made a difference not just in who I chose but in how they acted towards me. My mom and sister always felt they had to have a man to be happy. I never did. I WANTED a man and to be married but I never allowed that desire to overshadow my common sense and my deal breakers. This was just me. My experience. It’s devastating to watch family go through this and not be able to help. Teach your girls to be confident, strong, and to know their value. They can still be feminine and strong. It’s not an either or situation. Keep showing them and their mother what love looks like.❤

My dad got too angry on Mother’s Day 2012 and the evidence on my older sister got him placed under house arrest for 4-5 months, court mandated anger management classes and counseling. My older sister and I were always terrified that one day the whole family would not exist. With how small my hometown is, not a lot of people were happy with him. My sisters and I always wondered why our mom stuck around. Now grown up and seeing things the way we do now, we have a better understanding. They are still together and he is still just as quick to anger. Martina got me through the rough nights that’s for sure.

Tidbit: Apparently, when Martina was singing this song in front of the burning house, she knew that there was only one chance to have the proper shot of it all, so she sang that song, while apparently her back got scorched (she either was standing too close or the fire was too hot). She continued to sing and its only after it was done that she told them about feeling burnt. They checked her out and yes, she had been scorched. (Don't know what degree burn she had but regardless, it must have hurt).
