I'm standing in the yard in front of our house. Straight, empty hands, arms hanging. I am confident and waiting. I know my ex-husband is about to arrive. His car pulls into the parking lot on the street and I feel even stronger. The children are in the house and play carefree with each other. When my ex-husband tries to come through the gate, it won't open. It's as if an invisible wall protects the whole yard from my ex-husband being able to enter. He looks at me desperately. His eyes are black, but I'm not afraid. He can't get in. I'm getting stronger. The children are playing, I hear them, and it makes me even stronger. He doesn't hear this, I can see it, he just wants to get in with those black eyes. I cry because I feel sorry for him, but I won't let him through the gate. I am strong.

In the end, though, you show that you are strong enough to protect yourself and your family from any harm he may bring.
