Comments on: Sunny http://violenceunsilenced.com/sunny/ Violence UnSilenced: Shedding light on the epidemics of domestic violence and sexual assault by giving their survivors a voice. Thu, 11 Mar 2010 02:38:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Night http://violenceunsilenced.com/sunny/#comment-8834 Night Sun, 21 Feb 2010 00:15:38 +0000 http://violenceunsilenced.com/?p=530#comment-8834 I wanted to post this to everyone else who is reading the story. Sunny and I have been married for over three years. Despite what she thinks of herself she is the most wonderful person I've had the privilege and pleasure to know. While I am a bit biased, this goes back to when I first met her. I see how she's grown over the last several years of having known her. She's gotten stronger, overcome fears, and has grown as a mother, a wife, and a friend. I have heard her story and to see her face, and to listen to her, it's always going to be different than reading it, but she does a very good job of expressing herself via the written word. I do hope that her story helps others to break the chains of fear and the bondage of abuse (in all its forms) and share their story. I wanted to post this to everyone else who is reading the story.

Thank you for speaking out and for having the courage to find your happy ending and build a good life.

Luckily, he had pending charges and I will single within a couple of months but those months with him were the worst of my life. I'm thankful I made it out, and I'm glad you had the courage to get out of there and speak about it now. Sunny,

I am glad to see you have done more than just survived. What is most poignant about this is your description of how emotional and verbal abuse can escalate. Too many people do not recognize that and I, for one, am glad you managed to get that across. Thank you for sharing. I am glad to see you have done more than just survived.
