VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE


VICTIMS

AND

SURVIVORS

OF

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE


To all my sister's and brother's of Domestic Violence, I know this has been a long struggle, may feel they can not endure anymore pain, of the horrible abuse you have sustained.


Through my training from Women In Transition, I have regained my self confident, my self trust and loving myself.


My abusers were able to bend me but....They did not break me. Many victims and survivors have not come out of the darkness.


The horrible fact is many are still afraid of the bully who has hurt them time and time again. The BULLY who will not take responsibility for the abuse they have inflicted on their victims. We are no longer victims, we are SURVIVORS and because we survived we will speak out for JUSTICE!!!


The nightmares continue to haunt many lives. You are not alone and you will never be alone. Many are here to help you through the darkness of pain and despair. I AM HERE!!


My abusers would rather, I not speak out! You will not silence me any further and to my sister's and brother's I am here to help you through the silence. Speak out, shout from the top of the mountain and say, I am a Queen and King of God and I did not deserve the pain you inflicted upon me.


I will continue with my battle and as I feel one day I will be victorious, so will you!! As Sade had said, "I have the will to survive and so will you"!!


God bless all my victims and survivors of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.


LOVE AND RESPECT,


ROSA TORRES-SADLER
