being as I am sharing all that has become or what was the life I lived in abuse .I hope that this story of how I got out of the darkness might touch the hearts of them that have no voice and let them see they are not alone and that there is a way out of abuse. I did not think I could get out of the abuse till I started at age 14 reading Stephen King's books he gave me wings to fly with inside my mind
his books gave me a way out of the pain I was feeling from being beaten, what Taylor did not know is that I did leave the house and I did get out in the open if only through a book I was reading, the books gave me a safe place to turn to and hide if only for a few chapters at a time. one book that stuck in my mind and still to this day was called Rose Madder, it was about a woman that lived in abuse and got out .my story had no such ending like that book did, but it gave me wings to fly on in my mind to think that I too could get out of the abuse and run free from him .and over time I did indeed get free. Should Taylor have known that Stephen King was my escape he would have taken the books and burned them. Being beaten down in to a submissive state was not easy to do .the pain I felt I still feel when fear hits me. But the man I am married to now, sees the pain I try to hide and helps me stand true to who I am.
I am a Survivor, mother, woman, a Free spirit.
