This is my story. True with no embellishments. I can't reveal my real name. Why? Because I'm still frightened by my ex-husband. Plus I'm still feeling shame and embarrassment. I could be your neighbor, your friend or the cashier at the store. I hid it well and there are many others still hiding their story. I'm free, but still not free to reveal who I am. It's enough for me to know who I am. I'm a survivor!
