Publisher Description: When Kellie Jo left her abusive marriage, she thought for sure the abuse would end. But it didn't. Her ex-husband didn't want to change his behavior after she left him any more than he did during the marriage. To make matters worse, Kellie discovered that eighteen years of living in abuse with her children etched a deep mark on all of their minds and spirits. She was not sure she could help her teenage sons heal from the abuse in time to create loving adult lives, and for that matter, Kellie was uncertain she would repair the damage to herself in time to live joyfully either. Kellie's ex-husband and his friends, the family court system and her own dysfunctional thoughts and coping mechanisms challenged Kellie's ability to create the life she dreamed of living. This book, based on Kellie Jo Holly's blog My Abusive Marriage... and what i'm doing in it, chronicles the sorrows and joys that Kellie experienced during the first two years after leaving her abusive marriage. Did she heal herself in the end? Or had the abuse changed her forever? |
