Surviving Domestic Abuse: My Journey to Healing and Recovering

I thought my dream had come true in 1990 when I remarried. It turned out to be a fight for my life & for me.
I am still alive after getting away from the abuse, but it still lives on in my psyche.
No one can understand the footprint the beatings leave on the victim’s soul; even years later.
Heartbreak equates to a shattered heart, impacting the individual who was lucky enough to survive.
