Many of the stories you will read here are too painful to be attached to a name. We as a society still have not reached a place where we can talk openly about domestic violence and still not be shrouded in feelings of shame. Please know that even though some of these stories are written anonymously they may be stories from a very dear friend or a work colleague. As you go through your day we only ask that you keep your eyes open for signs of abuse. Many have learned to hide them well but under the thick layers of makeup and or long sleeve shirts in the dead of summer, there are signs to be seen.

With much courage, these individuals have bared their hearts and souls in the hopes that their stories can be the catalyst of change in another person’s life.

May God Bless you and keep you safe.
