Tell Your Domestic Violence Story
There is healing in telling your story. It seems that the healing comes in many ways. Some of it comes because feelings are released as you tell the story. Healing also comes because you gain a deeper understanding as you listen to yourself. In addition, others are healed as they listen to your story and realize that there are insights for their own lives.
If you like, you may e-mail your story to be published on this website. Your name will be removed, but also, please be sensitive about including any other information that would identify you to your abuser.
Suggestions For Re-reading Your Story
After your have sent your story and you have some distance from writing it, I suggest you read it again. Really feel your feelings as you read it. Then ask yourself. "What am I WILLING to do about this?" Please don't talk to yourself about what you "should" do. You probably have many things you "should" do and your friends have probably given you the same "shoulds." But "shoulds" are not helpful. You will not do anything because you "should." (Me and my friends have a long list for me. I "should" lose weight. I "should" exercise more. I "should" save more money. I "should" be nicer. I "should" keep my house cleaner. Am I doing these? NO!) The real question is, "What are you WILLING to do?" It does not have to be much to start. Maybe you are willing to read more books on domestic violence. Maybe you are willing to talk honestly to one friend you trust. Maybe you are willing to stop making excuses for your abuser.

H: I’m writing because I am a survivor of domestic violence. I suffered at the hands of my ex husband, whom in return plead guilty to assault. However, looking at the website, he isn’t listed. I was wonder how to get him added. After my life with him, I learned from his previous spouse that he is a repeat offender and abused her as well, which came as a shock. My hope is that by adding him to the website, someone in the future can be spared of the things we endured. Please let me know how I can help.

It is morally incorrect to list domestic violence victims for the world to see
Its all public records though, so just a matter of time and know - how till someone finds out anyways.
Kayedwon Fearson who’s from Minnesota is the devil. She’s now in Houston, Texas. I started dating her and it was the 3 worst months of my life. She was super nice at first but very secretive. The whole time she was hiding the fact that she was a prostitute with a pimp and she had the pimp thinking I was a trick. When I asked her was this true she turned into the devil and threatened to kill me and my family if I didn’t continue to pay her bills. She keyed up my car and made several false police reports against me. Now the truth has come out once I googled her name. So everyone do your research first.

I totally agree. I had a protective order put on me by my now ex-boyfriend's mother based off lies and her being vindictive and trying to break us up. Well she did. And she had me thrown in jail because I showed up at her house to talk about her son and his wrongdoings to me, like stealing $470 from me. They consider that harassment because I was not invited over that I just showed up. Now that stupid protective order will forever ruin my life. I don't even care to see or talk to the woman. Why would I stalk her? The great state of Texas was fooled by her fake tears.
"THE SECOND REPLY ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE" ;....cause i hate the thought of it??...and how many men, get away with it, is sickening?...i was married to the "LOVE OF MY LIFE" for 29 year's, and lost her, to a genectic, liver disease when she was 47~!!...and the main reason, we were together that long, is the fact i'm most proud of~!...I HAVE NEVER, HIT OR MISTREATED, what GOD created, for my pleasure???...WOMEN and DOG'S....and i raised my SON, just as i was?....and to think, he went to get his DOG, was seen, which violated a restraining order, by going to his own home??....and got him sent to PRISON, FOR NOTHING WRONG????(except, he couldn't afford a REAL attorney?)
