A Domestic Violence Survivor

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE BREAKS MORE THAN JUST YOUR HEART, GET HELP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE...

THIS WEBSITE IS DEDICATED TO MY FOUR WONDERFUL
CHILDREN!

I am a 48 year old Mother of four.I was married to an abusive man for five long years. During that time I covered many bruises, and told many stories to explain my unhappiness, all because I was scared to tell anyone the truth about my life as a Domestic Violence Victim. It finally took being threatened with a knife in the presence of my then 3 year old daughter to wake me up, somehow that day I found the strength to dial 911, I'm glad I did. My ex-husband served time in prison and my children and I can now go on. I've written a couple of poems about my situation that I hope can help other Victims and their families become Survivors too! Click on the next button to read my poems. Being a victim of Domestic Violence is a serious situation, if you or someone you know is a victim, please get HELP!
