A huge thank you to all of my friends who supported me. I did the presentation today - 160 plus professionals who work in the area of DV and abuse. I received many compliments on the presentation and on my appearance which was lovely and very ego boosting.
Big hugs to everyone, I couldn't have done it without your help. XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Thank you,
I stood up and spoke about what it is like to be a victim of abuse. I spoke about my life from childhood when the abuse cycle began to now when I decided to stop it and become a survivor. I hope I opened some eyes and minds. I met some wonderful people who really are committed and caring.

WOW! That's huge. I applaud you. I know the more of us who can stand up and speak out, the more we put perpetrators on notice they can't keep us silent.

I've told my story in public as well. How many others on this list are doing the same?

Wow!!!! I think that it is wonderful that you not only gave a great presentation, but were able to talk about what it was like to be a victim. The world needs brave people like you, because I am a person who, up until today couldn't even TYPE about my situation even under this Daily Strength "name." I'm sure your bravery helped a lot of people. Way to go!
