I can't believe that I have found Christian leaders who understand the plight of a woman caught in the cycle of domestic violence. I have been with my husband for 25 years and sought help for 25 years. I have spoken to countless of pastors, leaders, counselors, speakers, authors, friends, etc. and the counsel did not include an awareness of domestic abuse. Indeed, some of the counsel led to further victimisation. I am only now starting to heal, having been led by God Himself to a journey that has broken down my wrong thinking of what the Bible says about marriage. It is scary because many of my mainstream Christian friends do not see it. But to find people who validate that experience is gold. For a Christian woman, the tears over her broken soul are only matched by the tears of being let down by the community she has valued and anchored herself in. I not only have to deal with the end of my marriage, I also have to face being abandoned and misunderstood by my faith family.
