Love does not hurt and physical abuse is just as bad as verbal abuse. Women helping women not only help women, they also help men, because that's what that's for if a man is in a domestic violence situation and they will put you in a safe house to get you away from the perpetrator and then it starts there.
Ever wondered how someone can transform their darkest moments into a mission of hope? Michelle Bless's story is one of incredible resilience and unwavering faith.
