Prayers are being answered and hope is restored. After years of being on the other side of the door, I am finally free from domestic violence. I can see my children grow up, get an education, and have a future. I never thought this day would come, but it did. And it's all thanks to the people who helped me along the way.
Everything Prayed For
When I was first introduced to my ex-husband, I knew he was the one. We started dating and things seemed perfect. He was charming, attentive, and loving. I thought I had found my prince charming. But then things changed. Slowly but surely, he began to change. The man I had fallen in love with became a monster. He would hit me, call me names, and make me feel like I was worth nothing. I felt trapped and helpless. But I kept hoping that things would get better.
I prayed for a way out and for things to go back to the way they were before. But it seemed like my prayers were going unanswered. That is until one day when a friend of mine invited me to lunch. As we talked, she could see the bruises on my arm and the fear in my eyes. She told me about a help organization for women who were in my situation. She said they could help me get out and start over again.
I was hesitant at first, but then I realized that this could be my chance to escape. So, I gathered up my courage and walked through the door of the help center. From there, everything changed. The people at the center connected me with resources that I never knew existed. They helped me get a restraining order against my husband and find a safe place to stay with my children. They also helped me get back on my feet financially so that I could start over again—this time on my own terms.
Finally Free
