I can't express the heartfelt feelings that I'm experiencing now. I felt tears run down my face this morning and I knew it was the day. The day that I had been waiting for to stop running inside and sit back and say I'm safe. This is the time to reflect my feelings of thankfulness that I have reached this point. When I spoke to the editor who wrote this story for me last night, Tom Livsey, that's when it happened.



If my story can help others to end violence against women, or at least put it under some kind of control,than I've done something to end the struggle and pain for myself and so many other women out there that are helpless in a system where there is sometimes no sympathy seemingly or compassion for our situation. Please help me change this by leaving your heartfelt comments so we can continue this venture and journey with Tom and are through CNN and many other outlets to come.
