New Patient Story

Years ago, I was experiencing the trauma of leaving the father of my children/ my abuser of 14 years. He had always told me that if I left him, he would take my kids away from me. I never believed him. I had no records, he had records a mile long including domestic violence with children present. He came from money and I did not. I learned that money talks in our society. He was awarded primary custody of my two girls. Leaving that courtroom, I was broken. Driving down I-5 on the way home, I wanted to end all the suffering. I took my seat belt off and opened the door. My husband/ boyfriend at the time, reached across me while driving and slammed the door shut before I could jump out into speeding traffic. I went through years of deep depression. Today, I am going to school for social work so I can empower ladies that are living in similar circumstances. Domestic violence, abusive litigation and parental alienation have brought me to me darkest days. I am finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel by being able to help others.
