Radio Stations refused to play it unless she changed the words. Martina McBride held her ground. This song is the anthem for anyone in a DV situation !!

Martina has one of the best voices ever in country music!

I think you may have missed the fact that the mom committed murder/suicide to get herself out of the situation.
Hence the lyrics, “I’m not saying it’s right or it’s wrong, but maybe it’s the only way”.

POWERFUL. POWERFUL, lyrics.

You are correct! Show your girls an example of how they should be treated! Thank you, wish more fathers did that.

JSYK Sebs, I served 32 years in the Army and I find it interesting that you keep humbling yourself about being an immigrant. Let me tell you Sir, I am proud to have served to protect Americans just like you. I am sorry to say that I can't say the same for a lot of natural born citizens because they have been led to believe things that simply aren't true. Thank you Sir for keeping the spirit alive and reminding me why I did what I did. ❤

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.

This absolutely is a patriotic song. It is about personal freedom. Maybe the most cherished freedom in the world. And our country, if it reaches its potential, will provide that personal freedom for all.

this was based a true story of a woman who was beaten every single day so she took things into her own hands. She turned herself in and was found not guilty because of temporary insanity due to abuse...

Martina McBride in concert is amazing. Sometimes when artists are live you can't hear them well over the bands, but Martina's vocals are so strong you can hear her over the band. I heard her in Manhattan Kansas at a Country Stampede and it was amazing.

I am so glad you are a citizen! I so appreciate your sensitivity, your compassion and passion for your wife, your children and for your fellow man. You, Sir, are a grand addition to our citizenry. Your beautiful wife got herself quite a man. I enjoy your reactions so very much!!!

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.

Not a celebration of the Independence for the United States BUT a Declaration of Independence for a woman and her child! Thank you for your reaction kind sir! #IWASABUSEDALSO #NOWIAMFREE

My childhood right there.
Still affects me to this day... and I'm almost 40.
Those memories don't go away

I am leaving a Domestic Violence Shelter soon and moving into subsidized housing and restarting after abuse. I am thankful that I and the other women in the shelter have a safe place to help.❤ although this wasn’t the patriotic hymn you were looking for, it is a great song and a great source of strength

My dad wasn't the reason I ended up with an alcoholic, my siblings were. My dad's the reason I knew I deserved better. You're going to be a great influence on your daughters.

Martina sings so many heavy songs, yet they’re all beautiful. Gods will, Concrete Angel, I’m Gonna Love You Through It, Anyway, Wild Angels, there are so many good ones. And no one sings like that.

Martina is such a tremendous belter. Her live performance of "Where Would You Be" from the CMT Flameworthy Awards is a great example.

Old school country music like this is why I’m a diehard country fan. This is the country I love.

Martina McBride performed on Carson before he left The Tonight Show. She blew his socks off. She did this song I think. It was super controversial and Johnny Carson was all about ruffling some feathers. He had actually not heard her sing. But she did the song and he was stunned. She had another at the time that was controversial. Broken Wing. I'm not sure which she did. All I know is he said "I was not expecting that voice to come from small petite woman. She is phenomenal." Big words of praise for Mr. Carson.

I lived this story but it had a happier ending, my mom left with us five children before a tragedy could happen. There is always hope and a way to survive. Don't be afraid to seek help to break free. It has made me a survivor in life.
