Many people ask me “Nancy how could you have been so successful and yet live with an abusive husband?”  My answer is simple - FEAR.

When I was married I had no money. My husband primarily managed the money and he was a gambler. So the only way to be sure there was roof over my head was to become a competent, innovative and creative employee at work. I became an employer’s dream employee,  I never said no to any task, took on as much as they would give me and worked long hours not expecting anything other than to keep my job. It was what I did to be sure I always had a roof over my head.

FEAR was my motivator!
