| Introduction | I had never seen abuse until I was 19 and encountered it myself. I met a guy from my small town that said the right things and made me feel "special." After awhile he started to emotionally abuse me. It escalated after we had children. At one point, I said something that made him "mad" and he came after me with a shotgun. Another time, when he was high on meth, he disabled my vehicle and made our three children sit with him on the couch because he knew I would not leave without them. I knew this was not the way to live, so I started by getting a job and finding resources outside the home to help me for when I was ready to leave. One day I had had enough and said, “I’m leaving, we are through," and I actually stuck with it that time. I didn't want my daughters to think it was okay to be in relationships like this or for my son to think that it was okay to treat women like his father did. I wanted to Stop the Cycle of abuse that my husband and his mother and endured by his father and that his father had endured by his father. Today, I am remarried, we are raising my three children, his two, and one together. Life is Good!! |
