This is a story of a woman who was living a tortured life at the hands of her abusive partner and how she was able to survive with the help that is available. The woman, Rita, had two children with the abuser; and they also suffered the emotional trauma of witnessing the physical and mental violence toward their mother. Statistics indicate that a woman is beaten every nine seconds in the United States, and Rita was one of them. Awareness and increased civility on the part of society afforded Rita the help she needed and, in this case, a positive outcome. Ritas story will explain what she was thinking and the circumstances surrounding her life. This fictitious story, inspired by actual events or a true story, shows what Rita did to overcome her violent situation. Ritas partner Jims thoughts are also clarified as to his behavior. The stories ending could have been described in many ways, this was just one of them.
