My Story – Ramona

Never in a million years would I ever thought I would be a survivor of Domestic violence. I was a model smart educated. Why would anybody put up with that . I created the perfect Facebook life. Behind every picture was a horrible story of abuse an apologies not just me but too my two sons. Every time I would trie to leave I was told I was the worst mother, then the fake reports to children services. Finally reached the point where all three of us were physically abused. I knew I had to get the boys away . He told me a million times I’ll loose everything my house the Mercedes our savings. We were even house shopping. I finally had to let go of everything including the community I grew to love an all their support. Life goes on an ours has to for my sons . They our embarrassed an humiliated . That is the hardest part . Starting from scratch a do over . Anyone can be a target an when you finally realize it your by yourself they have managed to alienate you from every one you love .
