Many years ago, I was married to an abusive man when I was young.

In those days, it was shameful for the woman to admit to it. When I could I left with my children.

I didn't use this as an excuse, for whatever else happened in my life, I moved on, stayed strong and met someone fantastic who I have been married to for many many years.

I didn't put those early hurts onto anyone else or take it out on anyone else so let's get it clear, it is not an automatic reaction to do so as so many women have not resorted to this unlike Roxanne.

She had the wherewithal and the money to get help if she felt threatened so many times and with so little reason, she is a grown woman in a public arena and has been around DV women and knows the steps to take if necessary.

What a poor excuse of a woman she is, she demeans us by her abusive nature towards others.
