Description
Have you ever sat and watched one of those movies about an abusive relationship where the woman just hangs on and you thought, "JUST LEAVE! FIGHT BACK! GET AWAY! RUN! YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAY? I WOULD NEVER STAY!" I was that woman, sitting in the comfort of my own home, screaming at the TV. Until one day, I was the woman in that abusive relationship and honestly did not know what to do to get out of it. Never say never.
This non-fiction book is a story about a portion of my life. Long ago, before the ME TOO movement. I didn't want anyone to know what I was going through, therefore, in public I always had a smile on my face and a song in my heart. But, underneath that facade, I was feeling sick to my stomach and so very lonely.
It took me quite a while and a lot of prayers to get out of that situation, but by the grace of God, I did and I believe that you can too.
I have had reservations about publishing this story for fear of retaliation, that also being the reason that I did not include any names or the name of my then husband, my abuser, who passed away recently.
You don't have to be physically abused for it to leave scars on your heart. Sometimes I think that mental abuse is worse. Your body heals from the physical, your mind takes longer, sometimes a lot longer.
I hope that someone else in the same situation will read this book, know what to do and follow through, before it is too late.
