Summary

I remember feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders as I navigated the complexities of an abusive relationship, often feeling a deep sense of isolation. I somehow found the courage to emerge from this darkness, and that's why we're here today, to candidly discuss surviving domestic violence. We delve into the fear and humiliation that often silences victims, the contrasting dynamics of healthy and unhealthy relationships, and the transformative power of speaking out.

Our conversation is dedicated to shedding light on the harsh realities of domestic violence and providing useful resources for those who may be in need. We bring you invaluable insights from Harbor House, a beacon of hope in Orlando, Florida, serving victims of domestic violence. We discuss their commendable work, including providing legal assistance and the critical steps involved in filing for restraining orders. Our intention is to create a compassionate community, allowing survivors to share their experiences and inspire strength in others.
