My story – Jessica D

When I was 24 I thought I met the love of my life and I could help him I also thought the first couple times he hit me if he hits me he’s not like going after my kids but I was wrong I was very wrong I almost lost all my babies because one insecure man is frustrated and takes it out on it 6 month old baby because he had to babysit and he didn’t want to I just want to tell everybody you know there’s a life after domestic violence I didn’t think I would ever find anyone I could trust to date or marry I now have been married for 18 years I am so safe with him he’s never even raised a hand to me so just everybody out there know that there is hope for a better tomorrow
