Hi. I am Madison. I know that if you are here you are looking for someone who understands you and is willing to listen. I want to be that person for you. I also know that questions may come up like "what does she know about abuse?" or "why does she think she has the right to know how I feel?" Actually, not too long ago, I was in the same boat. My biological father was not a very kind person. He would constantly tell me that I wasn't good enough or that I was worthless. My parents got divorced when I was 11, and the abuse got even worse. It turned physical. My father was unable to control his anger and would hit me to calm himself. Immediately, I called my mother, and we put an end to it. Still, I saw him infrequently, until he threatened to kill every woman in my family. At this point, it was unsafe for me, my brother, and my mom to continue living where we were. To ensure our wellbeing, my mother relocated us across the country. Here, she met the love of her life and the man that I now call my dad. Along with him, I gained two new brothers who I love more than I can verbalize. So, yes, I am able to relate to you and also tell you that things get better.
