Seeking Justice for Children

Book Cover & Preview Text
This book is based on the true story of my life. It was not an easy story to tell nor will it be easy to read. My intentions are to prevent young women, inparticular, from making the same mistakes that I made. If someone had explained the abuse cycle to me at an earlier age, I might have been able to avoid the pain and heartache that me and my children suffered. While reading my story, if you or someone you know is in a similar situation in her life, please reach out to someone for help. I never thought of myself as a victim until someone explained co-dependency to me. I didn't realize the manipulation that an abuser uses nor the recipe for becoming a victim. If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable with the way you are being treated, please speak up. If your voice is unheard, tell someone else. Sometimes it takes someone who has been there before to really understand what you are going through.
