Going through a divorce is tough enough but being stalked and threatened and afraid for your life while you’re going through one brings divorce to a whole new level.

 I would wake up every day wondering "what is he going to do today". I was exhausted and I just wanted the divorce to be final, but it seemed like it never would. Finding strength was not always easy and then one day I found inspiration in a song.

The song was by Tina Turner. It was from the movie about her life and how she left her abusive marriage to Ike Turner.  The movie was “What’s Love Got to Do with It” and the song that gave me strength was “I Don’t Want to Fight No More”.

I played that song over and over and over every day. I would sing along with Tina and say to myself "OK, let's move this day along".  Thank you Tina!

For all of you who are struggling with domestic violence or its aftermath or if you just need some inspiration (or just want to hear a really good song) this link is for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoNXsne8exg.
