My Story – Nicole

I was married to a man who would verbally, mentally, and physically abuse me and said if I was a better mom and wife I would do better and when I hit my lowest point I overdosed on 28 muscle relaxers and when he saw me taking the pills he said 28 wasn’t enough and that I should take some more.. It took me 10 years to finally leave but it left me with a pacemaker, three beautiful children, and a strength I didn’t know I had… Abuse is abuse and remember none of it is your fault. I know I’m openly honest about the abuse it’s because I want to be the one inspriration in someone’s life to know that you can be happy again.
