Home isn't always the safe place we wish it was. Family & church family alike can be influenced by the snakes that sneak in; and we get hurt when we're not looking and least expect it. Here's your escape plan!
NELLIEC - Thank you so very, very much for sharing your story. Every story of escape that gets told, is another bright spot of hope for those who are still caught in it. You are a blessing. I encourage everyone to pray for abused people, and for the abusers, that are all around us. Many blessings to you. HUGS.
GODDREAMDIVA1 - Thanks for replying. It helps to keep me motivated to look forward and to keep writing. I pray all the time. I can't imagine my day without it. I'm not sure how I ever got along without it in my BC days. Funny how one tends to forget the worldly things after a while. Many blessings to you. HUGS.
I know that when I finally decided to leave my husband, I made very careful plans to leave. I kept hoping that it would change, but when I knew for sure it would not and it was getting worse, I left with my children and our pets. After a time in a women's shelter, we traveled 3000 miles away.
