Surviving domestic violence abuse

Hi, my name is Linda Phee, and I'm asking for your help.

On April the 17th My husband came down to the bedroom where he physically attacked me. It was premeditated where he went into the spare bedroom got a pair of studded gloves, then came into my bedroom and proceeded to beat me. I screamed to the top of my lungs but my cry for help was not heard. He raised the volume on the tv, so that no one could hear my cries for help. He proceeded to punch me in the face, and in the stomach. I screamed as loud as I could. My glasses came off my face as he was beating me. He took my phone so that I couldn't call for help. I screamed and screamed for him to stop, but he wouldn't. I managed to get up, run up the hallway of my home into the kitchen to try to run out the door, but he caught me. He grabbed me from behind and put his arm around my neck. His arm covered my mouth so I couldn't scream. He then proceeded to push me, and slammed me into the wall where I fell to the floor. I screamed and screamed for him to let me go, but he grabbed my head and tried to smash it into the kitchen island. As he was pushing my head down to smash it into the kitchen island, I managed to hold my head back so that I would not get the impact. He kept beating me, I yelled, " Doug stop, stop Doug, I'm sorry, please stop, stop Doug. " He then walked around the kitchen island and said," go". At that time, I ran out the door to my neighbors and told her to call 911. I thought he was going to kill me. No woman deserves to be beaten. I'm one of the lucky ones who survived. I'm so thankful. It's been five months since the abuse, and I am struggling unbelievably. I was left with a huge debt. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a hard worker, and I always help people who are in need. I opened up my home last year for Christmas to feed people in need. That's just who I am. I love with all my heart. So, to ask for help is one of the most difficult things for me to do. My pride is setting in, but I can't let that get in the way. Any help, big or small, will be gratefully appreciated. Thank you!. If you are a victim of domestic violence abuse, please talk to someone. You are not alone. It has been a constant go with meetings and councilors to get me through this. I may look great on the outside, but I struggle everyday on the inside. The scars are a constant reminder of what I have been through. I hate seeing them. He will be sentenced this month, and I hope justice is served.

Thank you, everyone.
