Issue 3 April

I write this to let everyone who needs to know, that life does, and can go on after an abusive relationship. My abuse lasted many years, and it took me that long to realize that my light was slowly going out. At that point, I decided that no one would put it out, and full of self doubt, lack of confidence and lack of self worth, I made the move and left. It was very scary, but for the first time in a long time, I put my trust in the unknown, and just knew that I would be okay. I left with no job, no money, but with a lot of self determination that I needed to be successful at whatever I do in the future. I am very fortunate that my life has been filled with many blessings since then. I have worked and volunteered in many different areas of helping people who struggled through their lives for many different reasons. To have been able to help so many, has made my life so meaningful and fulfilled. And my light has returned and shines brightly. Your light can come back, and you can do it when you feel the joy of giving to others. After my father in law passed away, he came forward through a medium and told me that he was very sorry for what I had gone through. That for me, was one of the pivotal moments of healing. It brought a sense of relief to me, because I had carried that secret for so long.
