This book is for anyone who has ever been in a bad situation or who is currently in a wrong place. It is a tribute to my past experiences, the acknowledgment of the fact that the horrible circumstances individuals may find themselves in, do not have to last nor do they define a person. It must be an emotional rollercoaster all the way through, reliving what most would prefer to be locked in an irretrievable, unreachable mental place. However, my past marital issues are my past. This book is neither a guide nor a detailed step-by-step process on how to overcome the crippling effects of domestic violence. It does not suggest how to deal with post-traumatic disorder, anxiety or depression. However, I make referrals at the end of the book and share resources to organizations that have invested time in people’s lives and have served as a beacon, allowing for that liberating experience, the longed-for “light at the end of the tunnel.”
