Theresa (from Grand Rapids) I thought I had a normal marriage. My husband and I both worked full-time, and had a good relationship. Then my first child was born, and my husband lost his job. He became a different person... lazy and emotionally abusive. I would come home from my day job, and then start my second full-time job of cleaning, cooking, and taking care of everyone. He started physical punishment of our girls, which I did not support. I was losing weight, depressed, and always tired. I reached the breaking point when my family started talking about committing me to an in-patient counseling center. After seven years, I decided I had had enough. DAWN helped me through the divorce, and now my girls and I live a much healthier life.
