Break Your Silence

Sherelle Crockett Survivor Sister Story

 

I was in an domestic violence relationship with my partner for 9 years. One day he decided that he would act on taking my life, because I was going to leave him after his affair and was tired of the mental emotional and physical abuse that I was going through. He was taking me to a secluded area on a dark road where he always told me he would take my body after he killed me. I seen an opportunity to get away, upon exiting the car he SHOT, I was holding my 8month old infant in my arms , the bullet struck him in the stomach killing him. Today I’m alive to tell my story!
