You are NOT alone.
There are times in our lives when we are suffering, struggling and feel as though no one in the world could possibly understand what we are going through. I'm here to tell you, you are never alone. In a world where Facebook and Twitter are the most popular forms of communication, it is easy to feel alone in the world. That feeling may be heightened when you are a victim of something as serious as domestic violence.
A lot of victims of domestic violence deal with abusive partners who isolate them from family and friends so they can keep control over their victims and manipulate them into believing no one else cares about their well-being or existence.
Whether communicating online is the only way that you feel people communicate these-days, is the only access you have to the outside world because of an abusive partner, or any other reason it's important to know there are others who have been where you are. They understand and have experienced everything that you are feeling right now. And they've changed their circumstances and lived to tell their stories to help others, like you.
Broken To Beautiful is a website that has survival stories from victims of domestic abuse. The quote on the home page reads: "A Virtual Oasis for Women Ascending out of Abuse."
If you are a victim of domestic abuse and feel like you're alone in the world, read the stories on this site and please seek help. You are not alone. You are entitled to respect and healthy love.
