Domestic Violence Survivor Lorna Blake Speaks Empower Yourself!

Here I was at 25 years old. I was being abused over and over again, and I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t have any family in the country where I was living. I had no close friends to confide in. I didn’t know where to turn. Living in fear of my situation left me feeling socially isolated and abandoned. It seemed like no one could understand the pain I felt, not even God Himself! One day though, I got help from a totally unexpected source – someone from my church helped me to leave. But, can you imagine my feelings of humiliation, shame, embarrassment, guilt, and confusion all at the same time? The situation had driven me to the brink of my own sanity! I was at the lowest point in my entire life and couldn’t even find one damn reason to get out of bed in the morning. My life was over as far as I was concerned! What went wrong anyway? I had done all the right things they told me to do. So why was I dealing with this situation? What had I done to deserve this? After leaving my then husband, I had no place to live, no job, no confidence, no family support and I felt ashamed to return to my church community.
