Beverly Batts:  

My story....I was a wall flower in school. Didn't want to be seen. Dated outside school. Lithia Springs, Douglasville, Kennesaw. Was introduced to a very Handsome, sweet, gentleman from Texas. Love at first sight! Married Feb. 1968. Had a daughter in 1970, another in 1976 and moved to my husbands little small town in Texas to raise our precious girls. Had a good life. Had a thought that life was really good...too good and lost David Jan 1990. Heart attack. My girls were 20 and 13. It was sooo hard on all of us! Eventually dated..went thru the motions. Sept. 1997 met a prince of a guy! I had known of him for a few years. Sweet, gentleman. I couldn't believe God had blessed me with another great guy. We married Feb. 1998. The second night we were together he showed his true colors. Verbal abusive, walked on eggshell so I would'nt say or do anything to anger him and later I found he was seeing other women and when I confronted him about this he became abusive. After six years of marriage..shoved around and bruised twice. First time shame on him. Second time, shame on me for staying!! I had him arrested and during the 2 hours they had him locked up. With God's help,my youngest daughter and I hooked up the travel trailer to the suburban and grabbed what I could and left for Florida! Been Stupid Happy ever sin...Expand for more
