Lost Our Pup After Domestic Abuse

Three months into my pregnancy, my husband, brutally beat me until I had a miscarriage. The scene was horrific.

When my mother went to confront him, he struck her too, leaving her with a bloodied head and needing overnight hospitalization.

Afterward, my husband would kneel on the floor, begging and pleading, "I'm sorry, Clara. I swear I'll never lay a hand on you again and I'll break off all ties with that woman."

Watching the man grovel on his knees, this time, I didn't just sit and endure.
