Why I Blog 

I am Nancy Salamone. I’m a survivor of domestic violence. 

For 20 years I kept a secret from my family and co-workers. The secret was that I was physically, emotionally and economically abused by my husband. I kept this secret for 20 years - because I was ashamed.

Then on December 28, 1991 I left.  To this day I do not know the Nancy who left but I will always be grateful to that person inside me who summoned the courage to leave.

I blog here so that I might tell you my story so that women who are in a domestic violent relationship, or those who are struggling with the decision to leave - or who have made the decision to leave, know that there is a way out no matter how long it takes.

I hope that you learn from my story that not only is there a way out but – you too can create the life you want.

You are not alone!

Nancy’s definition for “Carry your Cross”.  Lif...

I paid my ex-husband. We had been battling for almost 2 years primarily because he did not want a divorce.

I had reached the end of my rope one day and called my attorney and said “I no longer care that he does not want a divorce I just want nothing to do with him and further if I see him on the street I will not acknowledge him…l will pass him like he does not exist.”

Well she must have contacted his attorney because a few days later she called me and said my husband agreed to a div...
