I SURVIVED a Husbands's Abuse and a Daughter's Scorn

This book is the story of Lahuan Wetta who describes 30 years of her life filled with physical abuse and adultery from her husband until she divorced him in 1987. Her suffering also included treatment from her daughter who turned against her. Her daughter kept her grandchildren from her – not allowing Lahuan to see them grow from babies to adulthood. Her friends and family knew her as a loving and patient woman, with a goal of having a loving family life. In this book she tells the story of how that goal was always denied her – by her husband and her daughter. She describes how her once-loving marriage morphed into a nightmare of abuse and lies. This book is written in the form of a loving letter to her daughter in which she attempts to tell her daughter the truth about her life in the hope that she and her daughter – and her grandchildren – can come together and at last have a loving relationship. Lahuan’s story tells how she relied on family, friends, and a loving son to finally leave her abusive relationship. The book also serves as a lesson to young girls and women who find themselves in an abusive relationship – in the hope that they will have the courage to leave that relationship.
