Close Chronic Pain
I HAD SURGERY IN 1993. A FUSION AT L5-S1 WITH INSTRUMENTATION THAT ONLY MADE ME WORSE. I HAVE BEEN DISABLED SINCE THEN. MOVED TO FLORIDA IN '97 AFTER A BAD DIVORCE AND STARTED OVER.

Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I WAS MARRIED FOR 15 YRS TO A VERY, VERY BAD MAN. HE BEAT ME AND CHEATED ON ME AND TRIED TO KILL ME MORE THAN ONCE. I THOUGHT I COULD CHANGE HIM OR IT WAS MY FAULT BUT I FIGURED OUT IT WAS HIS PROBLEM SO I LEFT HIM SEVERAL TIMES BUT FINALLY FOR GOOD. I KNEW THAT IF I DIDN'T GET AWAY FROM HIM HE WOULD KILL ME. I WENT TO COUNSELING FOR MYSELF AND I FOUND ME AND I LIKE THE PERSON THAT I AM.
Treatments
- Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
- I WENT TO A SPOUSE ABUSE CENTER FOR COUNSELING AND TALKING TO THE COUNSELORS AND THE OTHER WOMEN HELPED ME RETAKE MY LIFE.
- Leave Working / Worked
- I LEFT THE STATE TO GET AWAY FROM HIM. HE STALKED ME AND ALSO DID THE "I'M SO SORRY,IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN". SO I JUST LEFT AND TOLD NO ONE WHERE I WENT. IT WORKED.
