I am one, I am many
I am like many, I share the shame and pain
Too afraid to fight, too afraid to cry
Too stubborn to die
I was a victim of domestic violence. In a moment of clarity, with his hands wrapped around my throat, squeezing harder and harder, I somehow regained the strength to fight and run. I escaped. I survived.
I have another website (http://www.amywitkowski.zoomshare.com/) which shares my experience of the attack and survival. This site is not for that purpose. Ever since my husband attacked me, I've been dealing with the nightmares of the day that I almost died by his hands. I had to fight hard to not only put him in jail, but keep him there. The fight was worth it. It was the hardest time of my life, not only for me but for my children.
As I reflect on my life before and my life now, I know, it is better now.
I dedicate this website to all of those who have suffered from domestic violence. I am also inviting stories to be shared.
