      Thank you! It is a poetry collection, about leaving an abusive marriage and the readjustment period afterwards, including a new kind of isolation, failed romances, the challenges of single parenthood, and the lingering effects of abuse, including the struggle to eradicate it’s stronghold entirely. It will be an evolutionary process and serves to lighten the dark path that every survivor has walked.

    As a fellow survivor, thank you for putting your heart out there and being so vulnerable and open. Your poems are incredibly moving and inspiring; you make me want to write again (my teen daughters are amazed by my high school poem book). I have a small (really inactive) Facebook group for Domestic Violence and wonder if I can share your blog there and specifically the contents of your comment above about your manuscript. I think that readjustment period can be incredibly long and you succinctly pegged so many of the compounding issues!

      Thank you, Amy! I not only give you permission to do so, but I would love to be added to your group and contribute in whatever way I can. Please pick up that pen again! There is so much that can be gained from writing, even if it’s in the simple form of journaling thoughts and experiences! Thank you so much for connecting with me– your warmth and acceptance gives me strength, and my goal in life is to spread that strength wherever and in whatever way that I can.

    hello,
    I’m currently a student in high school researching about the cultural and social norms affecting wife battering. I’ve read your blog and I can’t imagine the hardship you’ve been through. You’re an amazing women, having gone through all that abuse and yet still having the strength to share your story. Thank you for that! I was just wondering if you could possibly help me out with my research assignment and complete a survey relating to cultural and social norms affecting wife battering?

    -Thank you!
