SM

I initially came in to work on relationship issues. My partner was physically and emotionally abusive to myself, my daughter and our fur-babies. I began to understand the cycle of power and control and how he was controlling me through fear and intimidation. With help, I was finally able to leave him. I learned to ask for help and be able to accept this help. I even filed a number of domestic violence reports and this helped in custody of my child where he only has supervised visitation. I can now understand my self-worth without him in my life. My daughter and I are living in peace and tranquility. I have also learned how to be a better parent through positive parenting training. This has been a life changing decision and I am so happy to be here.
