Your story reminds me of the strength we all have deep inside. You are a survivor. You are very strong. I’m so thankful you have been blessed with a great husband now. Thank you for being so brave to share your story. I didn’t grow up knowing that any of things happened in the real world – I thought these were the tales of TV movies or novels. Sharing your story will help myself and others know what is really happening to others. Knowing will help us to stop this. I pray that your children will grow up and never encounter violence in their relationships. And then your grandchildren will be, just like me, thinking these things only happen in movies. Many blessings to you and your family and thank you again for sharing.

I could tell, from the start of your writing, that you are safe now. There is such power, such presence, such self in it. Amazing–you are amazing.

Thank you for your courage and for demonstrating that women who have been raised in, lived, and breathed domestic violence can..and do…emerge. Another cycle broken.

Beautiful.
