There is no one right way to recovery
If you do help a son or daughter out of an abusive relationship, know that their journey may look different from yours. For Hatwood, she went to church. She says, “I’m a firm believer that my faith helped me. With church, you start to identify with the god spirit within yourself. But the recovery journey is different for every person. For me, it was finding the wrong relationships until I found the right one. My daughter just didn’t have relationships for a long time for fear someone else would do the same thing. My daughter still has moments when she’s insecure. It’s a continual process of self-development. I try to encourage women to speak their truth about what happened. Live without the mask of pretending everything is okay.”
