Tomorrow My Sunshine Will Come: Memoirs of Women Who Survived Domestic Violence manifested itself through sharing my story openly with other women. I believed that I was the only crazy person to tolerate such humiliation and embarrassment. This couldn't be further from the truth. The more I shared my story, the more other women came forward and said they could relate. The more stories I heard, the more I felt compelled to share them with other women, who are ashamed and afraid to tell their experience. Jamika's, Felicia's, Allison's, Pam's, Karen's and my story are unique to us, they each have a very similar pattern. Through unfortunate circumstances early in life, our self-esteem was impacted. While looking for love and acceptance, we were susceptible to staying in these horrible relationships. We each, at one time or another, questioned, "How in the hell did this happen?" We naively ignored the warning signs. Many of us were looking to save or change our abuser. We thought that if we loved harder and stronger, they would see us for who we are and love us back. Deep inside, we were broken spirits longing for someone to piece us back together. What we learned was that we can't change others. We may inspire others to do better in hopes of changing. But ultimately, we have to look inside and change ourselves. That change then leads to survival.
