ABSTRACT
The transition from an abusive or violent relationship to your new, confident, safe, and abuse-free life is an exciting yet difficult journey. You are re-creating your true self as you grow and move beyond your insecurities, confusion, self-doubts, fear, and dread. You are, in a most basic sense, transporting yourself from a kind of terrible darkness into the dawn of hope and optimism. This is just the beginning of a journey. You are working on yourself and your life. You are changing.
