‘Paving the way for domestic abuse laws – the victims without recognition’
Growing up Louise had an emotionally abusive and narcissistic father. When he did finally leave her life when she was 16, she was so conditioned by him, that his absence caused her to suffer from anorexia and depression. She attempted to take her own life. Not receiving any help with her mental health at the time she ended up in a relationship with an emotionally abusive man. After 3 years of marriage and having 2 daughters Louise discovered her husband was having an affair. This time Louise sought help knowing that she had to take care of her daughters and lead by example. She was medicated for a short time and had CBT. However it was her personal search for deeper healing that caused the biggest change in Louise. Now in a loving and secure relationship and with 2 more daughters Louise is on a mission to spread the knowledge that has helped her and to give hope to others that may need it.
