Much like a friend would talk to you over a cup of coffee, Susan describes her 20 year relationship and marriage to her childhood sweetheart, telling how that relationship turned abusive and then ultimately violent and dangerous.

She then details the event that caused her to make a major life change and how this self awakening brought control, success, and hope into her life

Susan's message can help break the isolation experienced by those now in an abusive relationship, it can also provide an understanding for others who so impatiently ask, “Why does she put up with that?”
