A Domestic Violence Survivor's Psalm and Shooting Survivor's Psalm
By Holly J. Newhouse-Guidry


I once was Victimized
I was in a fight that was..
not a fair fight
I did not ask for this fight
and yet........I Lost
I carry no shame in losing...
these fights to my husband
I have reached the stage of SURVIVOR
I am no longer a slave of the Victim Status.....
I look back with heartache, forgiveness and sadness
rather than with anger and hatred.
I now look forward to the future
full of hope and promise
rather than full of despair and fear....
I will never forget this crime done unto
my family
But.....now, I don't need to constantly remember

I WAS A VICTIM TO A SHOOTING AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE....
I AM NOW AND FOREVER MORE.....
A SURVIVOR!!!!!





Hello and welcome to my Life Story thru Domestic Violence.
My site is dedicated first to my children who have lived thru hell
all of their short lives.
And most importantly this site is dedicated to all Of the Victims whose
lives were needlessly taken and for all of the survivors
for we will remember you always!
Please do not let the tragic story i have to tell become yours!
I also want to let all of my visitors know that this site is very graphic intensive
and it has very disturbing pics on it, there are pics from my own experices
which are bluntly graphic and may be disturbing to some people and
should not be viewed by anyone under the age of 18 years old!
My story as it is a long one, a sad and tragic one as well as
being very painful for me to relive for my readers but, very necessary.
My Story will not end with the pages on this site.
It will continue until the day i pass from this earth as for Domestic Violence
Victims, the damage is lifelong. It does not end when the perp is put away.
The sense of safety is something one can never get back.
But, you learn that you are stronger than you ever thought possible.
you learn one wonderful fact.....
YOU ARE NO LONGER A VICTIM, YOU ARE A SURVIVOR!!
Thank you for coming to my site and allowing me to share my life
and story with you. May God Bless you and keep you all!

Holly J. Newhouse
Survivor of Domestic Violence and a Violent Crime
~ Survivors of the Attempted Murder of my children
myself and my best friend.....



YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE CHOICE TO STAY A VICTIM OR BECOME A SURVIVOR!
I CHOSE TO BE A SURVIVOR, WHAT WILL YOUR CHOICE BE?
AND IF YOU ARE THE ONE OBSERVING THE ABUSE,
WILL YOU TURN YOUR HEAD AND PROMOTE IT
OR WILL YOU HELP TO SAVE A LIFE AND REPORT IT?




Feel Free to sign my guestbook and let me know your story
or how this site has helped you in your life.
