Survivor Not Statistic
**我不是个冰冷的统计数字,而是个幸存者**
After enduring three years of abuse, and seeing it turn to my children I could not take it any more.
在忍受了三年的虐待之后,眼看着我的孩子也要受到虐待时,我再也受不了了。
Strength is more than the measure of muscle. Strength is the courage you muster to do even the things that seem impossible.
力量不仅仅取决于肌肉。力量就是你鼓起勇气去做那些看似不可能的事情。
That year there were 22,000 reported cases of abuse against children in my state.
那一年,在我的国家,有22000起虐待儿童案。
Taking my children from statistics to survivors was the greatest thing I’ve ever done in my life.
我一生中做过的最伟大的事情是把我的孩子从受害者变成幸存者。
Not being afraid to speak out against domestic violence any more empowers me. Jump out on that limb and reach for the greatness you deserve, you’re not just a statistic, you are a human, you are survivor just waiting to break free.
勇敢地说出反对家庭暴力更使我充满力量。跳出这一步,达到你应得的伟大,你不只是一个统计数据中的受害者,你是一个人,你是一个等待获得自由的幸存者。
