The kids and I were talking tonight about "the incident". (That's our term for the day our abuser was arrested for Domestic Battery.) Or more to the point, we were discussing the PTSD that we all suffer from after years of abuse and how it has revealed itself in the aftermath. Some of our tales are rather funny in the light of day, but we could do without the fear, the uncontrollable nightmares, and being easily startled awake.
Tonight's discussion led to one child asking, "How long has it been?" I glanced at the calendar and noticed that tomorrow is 9/27/2019. That makes it 5 months since 4/27/2019.

The purpose for this blog is to be a beacon of hope to others trapped in abusive relationships and to educate others to recognize abuse that may be going on in the lives of people you know. There is real help available to domestic abuse victims, but sometimes it is hard to find and hard to take that necessary step to freedom. But there is a way out. I want to share all that I have learned so far on this journey into my new life as well as everything that I will continue to learn along the way.
