My Story – Stephanie

After he gunned the car while I was getting out, he took me back to the beach house where we were vacationing. For 2 days, I tried to decide what to do, I was broken. My daughter packed the car & we ran back home 3 states away. We packed what we could of our things & fled before he returned. A week later, I had a full hip replacement.
It’s been 2 years no contact & life is completely different & amazing. It was so hard but so worth it. I’ve learned so much!
There is life after abuse. ♥️

I tell my story in my podcast, I Miss Her…stories of Domestic Violence & Coercive Control. I’m on Spotify, Apple & Google podcasts.
