This story is based on the true events of my life. I had gone through physical and emotional abuse and feel it is time to share my story with the world. I have always shared my story with Friends and family, but many others go through domestic violence and are silent due to fear or not knowing what is out there. I am writing my story today so that others might find their strength and their freedom. Domestic violence is scary, and it breaks you down long before the physical part begins. This is my story and while I am still not completely over it, I have found my freedom and I am so much better off now.
