'I was physically abused for five years & longed for love. I'm unable to feel...sometimes it's like I've lost my way, with no courage to fight back. The only option left was suicide. I didn't want to remember my past. But it was at this chatline as I was explained the love of God, when I understood that God will never abandon me. I believe in Christ Jesus as my Savior.'
