To the world, I lived a beautiful life with a perfect home, perfect children, perfect husband, and perfect businesses. However, behind the four walls of our home, I lived a secret life of unimaginable violence.
Domestic violence is a silent crime, so shocking, so horrific, that it's swept under the rug as if it doesn't exist. A world so terrifying, that when women cry for help from family, friends, police and even our judicial system -they find no comfort.
One out of every three women are abused. I wondered how in my own situation that I could spend twenty years enduring horrific torture, yet remain in the situation. During the last eight years of my marriage, I spent endless hours trying to find a way to escape from a man who would not let me go.
