This time it was for real, and it would change my life forever. I was unwanted even before I was born. Maybe that was what made me strong enough to endure my mother's lack of love and affection, my stepfather's abuse, and my late husband's mental cruelty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI entered the world in the midst of the Blitz of London during World War II. By sixteen I was whisked off to South Africa during the tumultuous years of apartheid where I met and married a man who was unable to love or be loved. Like many women before me, I went from one abusive situation into another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith four children to support, no source of income, and nowhere else to go, I was unable to leave the marriage. I also feared that should I do so; I would be hunted down by my irrationally jealous husband so I stayed and endured physical and mental abuse for many years until my marriage ended in his tragic death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis story of survival was written to give hope to every woman who has undergone or is currently undergoing physical or mental abuse. I broke the cycle and found true happiness.
