As I sat down to write my first post, so many things went through my mind.  Having the opportunity to contribute to a blog and share such a powerful message is a gift.  Too many women and men are living their lives believing there is nothing they can do to make life better for themselves and/or their children.

I hope you will find a glimmer of hope here, whether for yourself or for a friend.  Proving information for building a better life; please feel free to comment and suggest any topic or information you would like to see.

Relationships define our lives. From the day we are born, we look for those who will love us, take of us and protect us from the world.  It is what life is about. Life, however, can sometimes take a wrong turn and a relationship goes wrong – what then?

It seems unconceivable to some that they can not change the circumstances, talk their significant other into loving them and seeing the “error of their ways.”  This will often work for a time, but the truth will prevail. – What then?

Ending a bad relationship should be easy, but in reality, they are the most difficult to leave.  Many, whether male or female, feel they are the one who is causing the problem and if they could change their actions, then everything would be OK.  This type of thinking is exactly what the abuser is counting on.  By breaking the spirit and lowering self-esteem, they gain control and what they feel is the perfect companion.

If this sounds like you, you’re not alone.  That in itself may be the most important piece of information.  We hope you will return for more stories and information – if only one person is helped, it is all worth it.
