Breaking Free from a Decade of Domestic Violence: My Journey to Liberation by Melanie W

I made a choice not to be a victim of domestic violence anymore 10 months ago after 10 years of abuse. I kept most of it to myself because I was scared to ask for help. DO NOT BE SCARED TO GET OUT!!! I never thought I could get away from his control. I had a good friend help save me and I owe her so much for being there through it all, and giving me the strength to not return to the never ending abuse. Dakota Estell I owe you my life literally thank you!! Anyone who has been a victim go to POLICE get help like I did!!! Please reach out there so many support services for survivors im living proof you can get out and if you have children do it as quickly as possible because they suffer too!!!!

I have been beat with belts, hit with vehicles, throw across parking lots, slapped, choked, knocked out, punched, thrown out of cars, kicked while I was pregnant… A decade of real abuse I tried to hide from everyone and was to scared to get help. Today I got help and I’m not scared anymore…

Some of these are hard to look at so I’ll warn you in advance. This is only a small fraction of what I went through…
