Hello everyone,

I find myself in a very troubling situation. My two daughters and I have been stuck in an abusive dynamic with my husband for 8 years. I have endured years of psychological, mental, emotional and physical abuse at the hands of the person that is suppose to protect me. I recently awakened to the reality that as much as I would like and pray for his change, I need to take care of myself and the girls. I have never told anyone about this until recently because I was ashamed to admit what was going on. I believed if I spoke up that I was giving up hope for his healing. I know now that I can not heal in the place that broke me. Those that have been through domestic violence know all to well the pictures may show smiles and happiness but it is far from the truth.

I am saving as much as I can for attorney fees and a new place to live however it is not enough. The situation is further complicated with the business I own with my husband. At the moment I live in a part of the house that belongs to the business. Both girls work for the business and currently are searching for other jobs. I have felt trapped and had lost hope of getting out until recently. My goal is that the three of us can share a place together where we can find peace and stability to start the healing process. I am believing in myself and my worth for the first time and I am almost 50. I am finding my voice and want to use my experiences to inspire others in the future.
