So here's a great link and blog from a strong Evangelical Mom who lived through an abusive relationship:

In her words:

I don’t consider myself brave at all…just desparate. I was desparate to be there to watch my kids grow up; desparate to end the abuse cycle with me so they do not continue the pattern.

If you know of anyone who can benefit from my story or if you want some very interesting reading, try http://oinvu4uraqt.blogspot.com.

It is a blog I created called AWESOME (stands for Abused Women Everywhere Speak Out Make Examples).

I attended Bible Temple/City Bible from when I was one week old until I was 16.

I went to their Christian school every weekday from 1st to 10th grades…and I never heard about domestic violence. I think it is time we prepare our Christian youth and not shelter them so much.
