Let me tell you, the most important thing that I have found is the capability to hold on to hope.
Me Too
These letters written by survivors of domestic abuse aim to bring words of hope and encouragement to individuals who may be facing abuse in their relationship. Survivors can be a strong source of support and strength for each other. The goal of our "Me Too" letter-writing campaign is to elevate the voices of survivors, showing others that help is available and they are not alone.

In the beginning, every time I saw him or his car, I was terrified. “Is this the day he kills me?”

Regardless of the type; whether the abuse be mental, physical, emotional, or a combination of each; you are not alone.
A Letter from Emilian

Please do not be discouraged by your present challenges and don’t feel abandoned. There is a survival instinct in every living creature. This is how hope stays alive.
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
