Im Not A Victim, I'm A Survivor

Checkmate. A series of deliberate moves for the final take down. Are you prepared to read my chilling domestic violence story that left me and my unborn child fighting for our lives? The cold hard truth of that fateful night that will send ripples through the society I live and breath in every day? Escaped but still trapped holding on to every moment wondering if it will be my last. I didn't speak up. I was too ashamed; I didn't think that anyone would believe me, and I certainly didn't want to believe it myself. 5 years on and I'm finally emerging from the shadows in which I hid carrying an unspoken burden, the weight of the world on my shoulders.
