It will be held on Saturday, October 12th, at the Decatur Library located at 215 Sycamore St Decatur, GA 30030. Meet and Greet will begin at 10am. The program will begin at 11am.
Many are aware that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but they are not aware that it is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Founder of Angel of God Outreach, Leticia Morton quotes, “Domestic violence is a growing epidemic in Georgia. We rank #6 in the nation for adult domestic violence and #1 for teen domestic violence. Abusers thrive on our silence, so join us in speaking out and putting a stop to domestic violence.”

Their mission is to educate women who have experienced these heinous acts of violence by providing them needed resources to better their lives. Our goal is to open a transition home to help those in dangerous situations restart their lives and become independent and productive citizens of society.
“Please join us as we break the silence and bring awareness to domestic violence. We will stop the pain by breaking the chain!” shares Morton.

Marie DanaisI am a survivor of the heineous acts mentioned. I have suffered in silence for many of years, but through therapy and many mistakes, I have found my way to stop the pain.
The Women’s Empowerment segment offered to the public is needed more than most women would dare to speak of. This is the right forum to listen and learn from. We women do for others and we get lost and find ourselves in a deep place in our being to rest and become the soldiers of despair and fight with our own demonds made by our partners with continuous battering of our mind, body, and spirit.
My experiences began as a seed bieng born into this world of abuse while still in the womb my father abused my mom. They say that babies hear and feel everything while developing inside the safe and sacraed world of motherhood. So I was born into a world filed with pain. Breaking the chain has become a mission of mine throughout the years studying the possibitities of change. What I have found that is missing in most of the individuals that inflict and also receive pain is a being that is kind, warm, and genuine at all times no matter what the circumstance this being will never cross you or yell scream or hit you. This being is not man or woman this being is GOD! He will always be. The key is for you to be one with him and to learn his ways and to give to others what has been given to you, unconditionally.
Only a victim can feel the wrath, and have been given something so powerful against the inflictor, that is experience. You have a kean sense of when a person is about to change. You have heard those words, seen that look, felt the anger. You can actually recognize the attitude change. Even before all of those hints, you can sense a certain smell or ora from this abuser. The warnings are in vibrant red. For the new confused individual wether man or woman they are not prepared for what is to come, but those who are warriors and know can help the newbies and tell their stories to someone warn the newbies of how their lives will change into a nightmare.
Angel of God Outreach, Ms.Leticia Morton I will see you soon.
Love,
Marie

AngelI’m very proud of the work Angel of God Outreach is doing! To the young lady Marie remember you have been seperated from your mothers womb according to Galations 1:15 and because of that nothing that happen while you were in the womb or before the womb is tied to you. You a free seperated entity. You are loosed from every blood line curse and generational curse. God has your own future and story set aside for you and it’s a story of hope, joy, happiness and love. I know you know that cause you have GOD as you lovingly talked about him in your story. Thanks for sharing mighty warrior of GOD!

DeniseI am a survivor of verbal abuse. I was an introverted I didn’t have slot of friend’s. When this young man showed interest in me I was overwhelmed. I felt so special. When the verbal I didn’t even realize what was happening. I thought that I deserved it. When I finally decided to leave him I found out that I was pregnant. He told me that he would change. By then I just felt I wanted my child to have their father involved on there life. After my child was born the verbal abuse started again. He used to tell me that I would never be able to raise a child on my own. He used to tell me that I was unattractive, I had gained weight after having my son. My self esteem was at a low. I stayed with him because I didn’t know how to leave. I was afraid that if I left him that he would make my life miserable. I stayed with him for nine years. The last five years I was just depressed and numb inside. My son helped me to keep my sanity. He kept me grounded and I did not want to get sick and then his father would have to raise him. The day that we decided to separate a load was lifted off of my chest. No one should have to be on a relationship and be miserable. Love is not suppose to hurt. Some people do not think that verbal abuse as being abused. With verbal abuse the wounds are unseen and the scars take longer to heal. Some people loose themselves and they never find themselves again. I thank God tor bringing me out of that relationship. I know that I am in charge of my destiny and I will never give anybody that power over me again.
