I first
met this lady over at 'Out of Darkness',
a forum she had set up for people wanting to share
their own personal experiences on 'abuse' whilst encouraging new
friendships through support.
For Liza, it began
when she was a young woman....brutally sexually assaulted at the hands
of mindless monsters! Years later, she would unconsciously fall into the
pattern of further abusive relationships, as so many of us do! Liza
lived with an emotionally & sometimes physically abusive man
for 28 years before managing to free herself. It almost cost her life,
but she never regrets doing as it was all part of her personal growth
& strength~ Little did she know that there was another woman out
there with quite a similar story who was in need of a friend......that
woman was me. Through many conversations I found the strength I needed
to speak about my own history and this dear friend has supported me all
the way-Since then, Liza has been such an inspiration to my life
and my work- She is a fine poet/author/freelance writer/artist and a
mother of 2 boys, proud wife to second husband, living in Indiana-
Please be sure to
stop by her website and sign her Guestbook!
