“I hesitated to contact HS at first because he hadn’t hit me. I didn’t think my abuse rated. At HS I learned how greatly his abuse impacted me. Before I always felt guilty because of the divorce, but now I know his actions were unacceptable on so many levels. I found healing at Hagar’s Sisters. This year I will celebrate my14th wedding anniversary to a wonderful man.”
“I’ll never forget my first call to Hagar’s Sisters. It was like I fell into the arms of God. I got my own place and finally having space to I felt God leading me to divorce. As my husband and I worked through the divorce we communicated about the issues. My husband wanted to change. We put the divorce on pause and continued to live apart while we continued to work through the issues. God worked through Hagar’s Sisters and our marriage was saved! We have been reunited for 13 years.”
“I carried HS contact information with me for a couple of years before contacting them. When I got involved I learned that I was loved by God and loveable in the eyes of others. I made friends I know will last a lifetime.”
“I didn’t think I would fit in, but there were women just like me and it was shocking to learn how similar our husbands were. It was like we had all been married to the same man!”
