Practice leaders reflect on working with domestic abuse and violence - Episode five

I am a domestic abuse survivor.  During the 4 years that I tried to love the man who was hurting me, he was also cheating on me.  I became pregnant towards the end of the relationship, when he cheated on me again.  The stress caused me to lose my child.  Shortly after, I finally got away.  I had to go into a hiding mode until I found a place of my own.  It was the hardest time of my life, but the part of my life, that made me the strong beautiful woman I am today.  You are not alone in your silent battles. And to any female that needs to hear this, HE is NOT worth your life, babygirl.  RUN.  And DONT LOOK BACK.
