"I Knew You Were Going To Do This…”

The disconnect between the systems we have in place to hold an abuser accountable and the reality of the life and experience of a victim of abuse is enormous.
I Can't Do This By Myself

We have all heard the saying: “It takes a village to raise a child”. The same concept applies to the prevention of Domestic Violence. It takes an entire community to eliminate it.

Now I don’t just get through the day; I actually live it.
Close Your Eyes and Imagine...

The physical pains can begin healing as soon as the victim escapes their abuser; but, the emotional scars need more time.
The Calm Before The Storm
October 10, 2012
The only force that ends domestic violence is an absolute intolerance for it.
I am a survivor of domestic abuse.
“I didn’t know that I was being abused because my definition of abuse looked different. My husband pushed me, but most of my suffering was verbal and psychological. I left my husband to protect our young daughter. Almost immediately I felt the weight of his oppression begin to lift. I could see a difference in my daughter as well. Then he broke into my home and assaulted me in-front of her.
I sought help and was led to Safe Harbor. My daughter and I are in counseling now. I am sorting out the mess that abuse has caused. I am finding my voice and seeking opportunities to grow and better my life as well as my daughter's. She will gauge her self-worth from my own self-worth. I must show her that she deserves the best, by expecting the best for myself.
Many years I suffered in silence. By telling my story and being honest with friends and family, I am taking control of my life again.”
- Beth
