I hope you got away from your abuser, and are living your best life. And if you haven’t gotten away, it’s ok. YOU WILL GET AWAY.

“On average, a woman will attempt to leave 7 times..” its easy for people to say just leave, but for the person going through this with a man she loves, it is never easy and it would seem, sadly, like coming back to him would be the best thing to do... thank you for sharing your story. In so many ways you have answered questions and doubts that only a person who has been through the same thing can answer. Its not about playing the part of the victim, its being a survivor when the person you love victimizes you, and having the courage to get out. Love and gratitude to you.

that's how my sister knew and told me I was being abused

She mentioned at the beginning , how one argument ran into another. This is trauma bonding. Thank you for sharing. You are bold and brave and helping many women . No one deserves to be abused. The violence in my family, conditioned me to accept the unacceptable . Abuse!! Domestic violence. In all my realationships , I've experienced Abuse. There's been physical, verbal , emotional, phycological, spiritual,& financial abuse. I stayed too and gave my boyfriend excuses and we stay for many reasons. I ask all women, and especially younger women to learn everything about Red Flags. It's very sad that victims go back to abuse. I took him back dozens of times. Excuses and minimizing abuse is what is normal when you grew up with abuse. I didn't even know it was abuse because looking back ... I believe I was in so much denial. ( To survive) we stay also because we feel a constant defending of truth and I also would speak my truth when he constantly was accusing me of cheating on him. Not surprising that when he died from his addiction, the truth of him cheating on me and finding out he was on the down low. I didn't see the red flags because of his manipulation and defending myself that I wasn't cheating myself. Soo much trauma, you are an inspiration thank you. Please be aware of red flags. I'm single now for 3 years. I need time to heal so I will never repeat the visciouse cycle of abuse.

He got SIX YEARS?!?!? After being free for 2. For attempted murder. For splitting her head open; twice. As a society, we are enabling this with little to no consequences whilst there are nonviolent people in prison for life for an ounce of weed.

Can we all agree that these men should always be on probation especially when having relationships. Life time counselling after their jail time.

I left my very abusive ( physical, mental, emotional) husband. Together 24yrs and 6 kids. I gave my life to Jesus. Without my husband in my daily life, I've completely surrendered to God and have drawn closer to Him. I attend church, read Bible and pray. I'm in total awe & tears of joy everyday for how God has got me through this. Supernatural peace, strength & provider. God is healing & restoring me to a better version. I keep my husband in my prayers and leave it in God's hand now. GLORY BE TO GOD!🙏🛐🙌❤ I will keep sharing my testimony. And I pray for those that read it will come to Jesus and you too will find refuge in Him. I ask this in Jesus name, 🙏

I love you. U are spot on. I'm going to court tomorrow and now I'm not scared..he's did it to someone else. I'm 41 and beat cancer since. I feel as if I'm on a life lesson. Iv got this. Thankyou xx

Never run back to what tried to break you !!! I have to post that!

I have never been physically hurt by my husband, but his emotional and mental abuse is definitely hard for me to deal with. This abuse has been going on for about 8 years. You can't just leave. I'm 49 and disabled and everything I own is mine and I have no way to buy everything again. My disability check doesn't go that far. The 1st time I left my husband, I did it while he was at work and went 1800 miles away. I will be going again for the last time and 1800 miles away again and will not look back next time. I also got accused of cheating everyday. It was so crazy. Cheating never had crossed my mind at any point

You deserve real love, which is patient, and kind, and equal and free. Love yourself. Loving yourself means never accepting such deep disrespect from anyone. People get comfortable, be afraid to leave, etc., but I promise you, being free from abuse is the best thing. You deserve to live a life free from cruelty.

There are many complex reasons that a victim of this type of violence cannot or does not just leave as the average, emotionally and mentally healthy person would. Particularly if the brainwashing, for lack of a better term , has taken hold.

I remember his dragging me to marriage counseling and the therapist just looking at me like "Are you serious???".

I had called his mother during domestic violence and she always told me I wasn't forgiving enough of her son. . .No, I'm not anymore. It took him hurting our kids for me to wake the F up.

I’m ready to heal . Thank you 😊

All i remember from the abuse i had to go through is being saved by praying and God answering by taking away the fear giving me another choice to live and the wisdom to go forward to live as a surviver. So much truth and courage in your sharing

I left after 11 months, and because I heard all these stories I stayed away. I'm healing from hidden abuse, but it's mostly not from my marriage but from the hands of my mother decades earlier. These stories, over and over, are so similar to my second marriage, but I only had 3 months of very troubling abuse. I'm grateful for all the survivors of emotional abuse in my life getting me out quickly. Thank you.

Thank you for trying to empower women who do not have voice I really look up to you

Winnebago county, Illinois is using the 1st 18 minutes of this video for a domestic violence victims panel for offenders. Literally that is all they do to help make sure abusers are aware. More needs to be done to help the victims!!!

I let it go on with my husband for 5 years he was my first everything and i never though he would hurt me until he did and it never stopped I finally made the decision to leave with our 4 children under the age of 4 and we are currently in a shelter and although it’s not ideal having 4 kids under 4 in a shelter I feel so much less stress being here than being in house where I had to walk on eggshells everyday wondering if I was going to be hit, accused of cheating or lying, or if there would be another hole in the wall or door that I would have to look at everyday reminding me that he wasn’t changing

THIS! Just set me free😌

“Don’t ever put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket”. This goes for any kind of relationship. I’m glad she touched on emotional abuse. It’s something you can’t prove and makes many feeling crazy and feeling deep shame to come out of the shadows. So much education is needed to empower women with childhood wounds to believe in the red flags that our body gives us.

Yep, addicted to a person. I call this “Hopeless Hope”

Police officers must start taking these women seriously there are too many dieing while trying to seek help. Like she said you have a 70% chance of being murdered when you do decide to leave. This is why I have trained and educated myself and those around me to look for the signs!

I am going through this situation currently. Trying to find the strength and courage to love me more and to walk away from this marriage.

To all the survivors out there, you're incredible! Give yourselves a round of applause. You deserve it! I emphasize with these survivors, and wished they had the courage of my mother who left her abuser the second time he hit her. She did this with four small children and no family support. I'll admit that my mother was the exception since there were other family members who chose to stay in their DPV relationships. When I asked my mother why she left, she said, "I didn't want my children to see me that way. I want them to know they have a choice." So, based on this concept, I can't help but wonder if these women, particularly those with children, gave any thoughts to the children who are the unintended witness to these violent traumas. This is especially true at the start of abusive relationships. How will they respond if they find themselves in an abusive relationship? If not, their relationships in generally. Will they stay in the DPV relationships to their demise? How will they navigate future relationships? Children are most adept at learning behaviors So, seeing these types of behaviors will have a profound impact on them in their relationships. I will say the most significant lesson my mother taught me by leaving her abuser is...you never stay in ANY relationship that causes pain. Thanks, Mom, for being so monumentally and phenomenally courageous.. You raised us well and your children appreciate this lesson.

Sadly, so relatable. Especially the rationalizing and describing the relationship like an addiction-there is no making sense of that "desire" to stay.

I don’t know why I felt such intense rage when she said “ I took him back”

Listening to this story makes me sick to my stomach, why did I stay so long? I too was battered but not broken!

Thank you Jesus omg thank you Jesus I needed to hear this thank you for sharing your story you answered so many of my questions thank you and God bless you

So much love and respect for this lady. She is courageous and clearly a good person. And she is honest as she is advising both sexes to take the lesson, not just women: "If someone shows you who they are, believe them." True.

That took real strength & courage to do what she did then and now, to fight back as well as heal!

Thank you for sharing this story. It has made a huge impression on me, and is something I needed to hear. I am so grateful to you. You’ve explained the fog, the denial, the shame, etc. There is so much relatable truth to everything you’ve said. I just left my abuser for the final time a couple of weeks ago. He doesn’t realize it yet since we’ve been on and off for five years. I do wonder how he will react once he sees it’s definitely over. Regardless, I’m dead set on providing my children with the home environment they should have. They’re the main reason I made this decision. Since I’ve left, to stay strong in my choice, I have read through journals and whatnot to remind myself of the things he has done and why I don’t want him around; in doing that, I realized I was in so much more danger than I ever allowed myself to believe. I will never take him back. He will not change. I believe he is who he has shown me so many times. I did not want to believe it. I really wanted our family to be whole and functional, but that’s not the reality of it. And thank God I am finally out of the fog because these children need their mother to protect them. My shame runs so deep. When I realized how I let them down by allowing him to keep coming back, I felt overwhelming shame. But I’m awake now and I cannot change the past but I can give them everything moving forward.

When you were saying as hard as he was trying to kill you, he couldn't do it...I was thinking God was putting a wall of defense upon you, and then you said you called upon Jesus. I thought, yes! There is actually a powerful force that comes into play from the unseen world into this realm we live it, his name brings protection and deliverance. He had a plan for you and knew something in you believed in him. Amazing what God can do for us! I've been delivered myself from what the Bible calls "the violent man". Never look back.

The person abusing uses control and power ( which isn't love). From my personal experience of 30 years with my boyfriend , the abuse. Got worse as his addiction progressed . I got very unhealthy with depression, anxiety, low self worth, helpless ness , hopelessness. And isolation . A big warning sign is active addiction. But , he was abusive when he was using. As well. I lost myself by hoping, praying , and trying my best walking on egg shells and believing that the abuse would stop. It never did ... It escalates and worsens. The tearing down with intermittent love bombing or a period called the honey moon stage keep us stuck . Many of us go back because we believe we love this person and are very forgiving and hope the visciouse cycle of abuse won't continue. So it's a visciouse cycle. Only the grace of God go I. His love protected me and helped me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As survivors we are very beautiful and strong to have survived. I hope this helps someone realize there's absolutely Nothing they can do, to stop the abuse accept. Remove yourself from it , safely. Nobody deserve abuse.
