Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Gratitude for a "Glimpse of Hope"


--by bella_ammi, posted Feb 28, 2012

I want to stop and tell you all how amazing you are. I have been reading some of your stories and I am in tears now -- good tears though. I have been through so much and things are so hard for me right now. I have just recently freed myself and my children from a really bad marriage.  He is currently in jail for domestic violence and attempted murder,  If that says anything.

Living this life of violence and abuse for so long, I thought when I left him that things would be so much easier, that everything would fall into place. I never expected things to be so hard. I have been looking around for some inspiration and something to distract me from the struggle I have been going through with starting over and I stumbled across this website.

It is nice to see that kind-hearted people are still out there. It is so nice to see that there are people out there who still care about others. I was losing hope in all of humanity, so thank you for showing me people still care. I really needed that little glimpse of hope. Thank you for helping me stop and breathe.

I hope you will seek out the help you need to make a new start by contacting a Social Worker who can advise you as to the services available to you. A call to a Domestic Violence Center in your area may be the first step or a call to the DHHR in your area. Sending Love and continuing prayers,

I have discovered this over and over. Welcome to this site and take heart-things will get better for you and kids now that you have taken the hardest steps and removed yourself (and them) from the abusive situation.
Kudos to you! Hang in there.
