Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:01:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Simplicity http://violenceunsilenced.com/cher/#comment-923 Simplicity Thu, 26 Mar 2009 04:24:25 +0000 http://violenceunsilenced.com/?p=219#comment-923 I got goosebumps reading this line: "To this day, I’ve not told anyone who he was or what he did for me, because I don’t know if he’d be in danger of losing his job or not. But together, we worked out a plan, and a week later, I was three states away and haven’t looked back." Thank God for some of the incredible heroes in this world!! I've read 6 stories tonight, I think, and this will be my last for the evening because I'm so overwhelmed with emotion. I've tried to use different words for every person to let them know that I have actually read their stories and see them as unique, but one word I've used often is brave. You are brave! I love that there is a happy ending!!

I feel so stupid sometimes when I think about that, but then I remind myself that I was smart enough to leave.

You're an amazing role model for the idea that the only true escape from the pattern of abuse is through working on yourself. Thank you for sharing.
