Publisher description
Tragic true life stories autobiography of the physical abuse suffered at the hands of a alcohol induced abusive husband. She lived in fear of his physical and sexual abuse, and often wandered the streets late at night, sometimes barely dressed, and in the early hours to escape his clutches in fear for her life. He used mental abuse and rape in the relationship to control her everyday life, causing much stress and depression and suicidal thoughts. In the early seventies there was no such thing as a 'Women's refuge' (a safe house), for battered women, and victims of violence, committed by violent men, and the police treated any complaints as a simple 'Domestic' dispute instead of domestic abuse, the abusive partner was either given a good talking to or at worse a night in the cells to calm down. When the children came along things went from bad to worse, and when she finally broke free from control abuse, he harassed her when he would come to her house in the early hours drunk and abusive. Tragic life stories of a woman who eventually found peace from domestic violence, breaking free from an abusive relationship takes courage and strength. The chance finally came when through another abuse of power against an elderly lady he was given a prison sentence for violent physical abuse. Real life stories of a bad marriage in a very difficult relationship, letting go, and finding yourself in new beginnings after a complicated relationship by abusive men. It includes memories of following later relationships some good and some bad from her twenties to the present day and her accomplishments and experiences along the way
