I was in an abusive marriage for nearly 3 years. He had me thinking I could do nothing right. I had bruises and was crying out for help. He controlled what i ate, when i slept,etc. It felt like a prison but to the outside world we looked like a loving married couple with my covered up bruises. I use to hate being home with him. I left and came back but then one day I got the power to leave him for good. I went to group counseling sessions and was supported by my then boyfriend. Now I'm happy and engaged to my soulmate. I wake up every morning feeling so blessed.
