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.
It is also dedicated to all members at DSAOC, you know who you are.
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,
If you are in a domestic violent situation please seek help and
and GET OUT ASAP! Your lives may well depend on that moment of extreme courage!
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 is not the lifelong fairytale I once had hoped for
as a little girl, instead it involves control,manipulation, abuse,
and worst of all near-death and severe injuries.
It is a sad and tragic story and I ask that you bear with me as I continually update
this site with 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.
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 and
you learn one wonderful fact.....
YOU ARE NO LONGER A VICTIM, YOU ARE A SURVIVOR!!
On the pages of my site as well as my own story you will find poetry from me and others
Stories of others in Domestic Violence and Survivors
contact information to get help,
as well as a memorial to the legacy to those who lost their lives to Domestic Violence.
As long as I live and my children live, you will never be forgotten!
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!

Survivor of Domestic Violence and a Violent Crime
~ The Attempted Murder of my children and myself and my best friend.....

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 bio page.
I have not included much of my story on this page
as the whole website pretty much covers all the years of abuse but,
I hope that as you journey down this painful road with me
and when we conclude this journey together that you will
have a better understanding of all victims of domestic abuse
and that it is not as easy to get out as many think
, it is much more complicated. again,
i thank you for coming to my site and walking in my shoes
with me as i relive this experience to prevent more future abuses as well as raising awareness.
Thank you again for stopping by.
If you need to reach me or need someone to talk to day or night,
please click on the contact me button under
miscellanous in the drop down menu.
I am here for you to lean on, for an ear to listen,
a shoulder to cry on, or even a safe haven.
I am a survivor of domestic Violence and of a very violent crime.
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?
