‘Dancing’ Star Jana Kramer Speaks Out About Surviving Abuse

In an exclusive interview with Good Morning America today, Jana Kramer, country music sensation / "Dancing with the Stars" contender, publicly opened up about how she's stepping forward into a very hopeful future following the highly abusive marriage that almost took her life, including her desire to empower abused women experiencing similar in their lives.  Her hair raising account of hiding in the bushes while praying for help is not necessarily unlike stories that many survivors of domestic violence share. She tells this story and others with a tearful poignancy not arising from victimhood, but from her realization that her Life was being stolen and she needed to seek safety and remedy her situation.  Her abuser was eventually convicted and imprisoned, but released over time, thus adding unending stress to Jana's life.  (He eventually committed suicide.)  If you are being abused or know of someone who is being abused, click this link to today's Good Morning America segment and share.  Please!  Jana Kramer's account may save your life or the life of someone you know!

Celebrating Survivors While Honoring Those We've Lost

As most of you know, October launches Domestic Violence Prevention and Awareness month, dedicated to Courageous Survivors who have taken a stand against abuse, while honoring those who are no longer with us.  Supportive Friends are a Gift and a Blessing when you're caught in the Cycle of Abuse!  The young woman in this photo is myself, decades ago, as a young, married college student.  The note was sent by a friend, who as it turned out had also been abused, survived, and successfully moved forward with her life.  Esperanza! A Woman's Hope is focused on helping Survivors of Domestic Violence here in Georgia with funding for job skills upgrade and related programs. If you are a Survivor, Reach out to us!  If you are a Benefactor, Help Make A Difference, Today! We invite you to e-mail us for additional information! Thank You!

Startling New Statistics Here in Georgia

3/9/2016

Picture

Yesterday, we were celebrating International Women's Day, hosting local / global women's circles and attending live streaming events, but many of Georgia's women were not available to celebrate. I dislike being so graphic on a beautiful, spring-like day here in Georgia, but according to a recently published State Fatality Review report, Georgia experienced more Domestic Violence related deaths during year-end 2015 than it has in the past 10 years. Statistics:  139 DV Deaths total. 80% Fire Arm related. 12,000 Children affected, with 1/3 of these Children witnessing the violence. Who is accountable here? Are ineffective FVIP (Family Violence Intervention Programs) to blame? Why are abusers / perpetrators irresponsibly allowed to remain in possession of their weapons? Where are the broken links? How can they be repaired? What has happened and WHY?
