I Broke the Cycle of Abuse in My Family
|
|
|
As a child, Olivia witnessed a lot of domestic violence between her mother and father. Her father left the family when she was very young but his actions made a huge impact on her. Olivia knew that she didn’t want her children growing up in an abusive home but felt trapped by the demands of her ex husband. A custody battle involving their two boys, ages 6 and 5, was stressful for Olivia and the well-being of her children. Olivia was wrongly accused of domestic violence, child neglect and was even incarcerated for a brief time. She felt hopeless and alone.
Olivia and her children were referred to Corbin Family Resource Center and began working with Parent Educator Peggy Miranda. At the Center, Olivia found the encouragement, support and services needed to rebuild her life. Olivia says that she’s broken the cycle of abuse in her family, and, in the process, discovered that she wanted to become a social worker to help other women find their inner strength and purpose.
