I share the story of my daughter and the devastating impact of her relationship with a mentally unstable partner. My daughter was a strong, beautiful, and talented woman, yet she was brought to her breaking point by this toxic relationship. After her tragic death, her children were left behind, neglected, and without proper care—unable to be fed, clothed, or nurtured.

I feel deeply that her story needs to be told. Too many women suffer in silence, too afraid or embarrassed to speak out about the abuse they endure. It’s incredibly sad that some even reach a point where they contemplate suicide as an escape. This story might give you the courage you need to break free from abuse, to rise above fear, and to live a life full of strength and confidence.
