I was abused verbally, physically, emotionally, and even sexually throughout most of my life. I ran away at 13, thinking that my boyfriend loved me more than anyone ever did--WRONG! Not only was I kidnapped, raped and violated out on the road by strangers, but later, my boyfriend turned on me too. Still, I forgave him, married him, and after two years he nearly killed me. After that marriage ended, I met a man in the church. He seemed perfect; opened my door for me, brought me flowers, and told me how beautiful I was. Even though I didn't love him I married him 6 months later. BIG MISTAKE! After 7 years of marriage I learned that he had turned his dreaded porn addiction onto our three small children. Obviously I left him too, got a divorce, and tried to go on. But I feared for me, my kids, and that I'd meat another Big time loser. However, that's when my life changed. I actually met a decent guy, who loved me and my children, and today we're still together after 16 years! But most of those years I battled Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, Panic Attacks, and all types of fears and low self-esteem. I know from experience what a life of abuse can do, but I also know what it means to rise above those problems and SURVIVE. Yes, I'm an ABUSE SURVIVOR who is proud to say I made it! I came out on the other side--and you can too!
