“Here all these years I thought that I was doing the right thing, staying with an abusive man for the sake of my daughters, but I saw now that even at nine years old my daughter knew that it was wrong for me to stay.

“I had given up religion for a relationship and now walk confidently in my Father's footsteps and take great delight in knowing that despite all of my sins and failings, He loves me just as I am -- I don't have to earn His love but just accept it.”
