As a follow-up to Sasha’s post on Abusive Relationships earlier – I don’t think we can ever talk about this too much…
Whether it’s domestic violence or an abusive relationship that’s in it’s early stages, this is a website every woman should see.
In December 2003, Carolyn Thomas of Waco, TX narrowly survived a gun-shot wound to her face. Her cruel story of domestic violence, how she lost her mother and 80 percent of her face when her ex-boyfriend tore into a jealous rage and opened fire in her apartment, has been covered by Oprah, CNN Headline News and in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Four years and 11 plastic surgeries later, Thomas is conducting a public show and tell for women discussing the expensive price of staying in abusive relationships.
On Saturday, September 8, she will deliver a 45-minute keynote address at the Women’s Safety Personal Conference & Expo, sponsored by Sisters S.O.S (Sisters Overcoming Situations), a faith-based nonprofit group based in Ft. Worth, TX.
If anyone is in the Ft. Worth area and attends this program, I’d love to hear and read more about it.
