How I Survived Abuse

SEXUAL ABUSE I’D SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF MY FATHER HAD LEFT ME DEEPLY WOUNDED. BUT I WAS DETERMINED TO SEE HIM MADE WHOLE IN CHRIST.


As many of you know, I was sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused from the time I can remember until I left home at 18. Although I was abused by several men while growing up, my father was the primary source.

The years of abuse left me emotionally wounded and unstable, and after a failed first marriage, I met my “knight in shining armor,” Dave Meyer. God used the peace, joy and stability in his life to create a deep desire within me to want what he had. Through many tears and trying times, God began to walk me through the process of emotional healing.
