I had to turn myself off emotionally. I had to think about my children and keeping them safe.
I wrote to him almost daily to tell him how what he did made me feel until one day, I just wished him no harm.
I had my baby and divorced him. He lost his rights to my son and that let me know that sometimes the law is on our side.
I stayed totally hidden. The most important thing I did though was educate myself on abuse. I bought a book called Dangerous Relationships and it became my Bible. I read everything I could, finding the root causes of why I allowed abuse.
I learned that a person will only hurt you as much as you are willing to hurt yourself. That was a slap in the face, but it was true.
I am a survivor. Seven years now away from him and not one abusive relationship since.
Be strong, women. It can be done.

I must add that when I said I wrote to him daily, I never sent those letters to him. It was a journal. I keep those letters to let myself know how far I’ve come.
