Who am I? I am the invisible woman, I am one voice out of thousands of women with stories similar to, and even worse than mine. Women who are prisoners in their own home, women who are battered emotionally and physically by the ones who they love the most. I prefer to keep my true identity anonymous to protect myself as well as my children, but everything I write on this blog is the truth, and the experiences are my own, personally. I wanted to share my story with the world in the hopes that it might help strengthen and give courage to someone, somewhere out there. Even if my story only touches one person, it will be well worth it to me. This blog is the story of my two and a half year nightmare, the story of my first marriage to an emotionally, physically, and verbally abusive boy. (I use the word boy here because man seems quite unfitting)
To those of you who are in current abusive situations, I urge you to seek the help that you need to remove yourself (and your children if you have them) from these situations. Do not allow yourselves to be invisible, make your voice heard, and your own story known. There are always resources out there, and no matter how impossible a way out may seem....there is ALWAYS a way out. Do not allow yourself to feel as though you are worthless and undeserving, do not believe the lies you have been fed. Every woman is a beautiful creation, a divine daughter of a Heavenly Father. No one deserves to live a life imprisoned in an abusive relationship.
