breaking free from fear after abuse
It’s natural to wonder if others will ever truly understand the immense courage and strength it took to leave an abusive relationship. Even when you know you have nothing to be ashamed of, a lingering fear remains: Will others comprehend the depth of my pain and bravery?

Have we forgotten that the men on death row were once children too
