I was a victim to gunshot by an x boyfriend also. Just like many of you here we 
survived the first few months and the why me stages. I was only 17. But I knew 
I was here for a reason. I speak on crime victims behalfs, center for battered 
women. I go speak too criminals & officers of how this incident affected my 
life. I go speak to jr. & high school students about abusive relationships. 
Anyone that will hear my story I'm telling it.  So my satisifaction is knowing 
that some where down the line I have helped someone somewhere with my testimony 
of survival. I was awarded here in my community for reaching out to so many 
others. You talk about realizing that my life might be different in a chair, 
but the feeling of helping someone else survive is awesome.

    Hi Linda,
How tragic, was there something mentally wrong with him.  I'm so sorry you had 
to go through that.  I had heard of this before but never talked to anybody 
that experienced.  I bet you could write a story about that for other people of 
the signs so it doesn't happen to them.  How did you get through this.

     DIV {      MARGIN: 0px  }        My estranged husband shot my with a 357 
magnum, severed my spinal cord at the C4-5 as I was returning home after 
surgery. After shooting me he killed himself. It's sad & a waste of life. This 
was Nov 7, 1987.
