In this episode, we hear Kristen's story of survival. She was married at 19 to her best friend and the love of her love. She had a happy marriage until her husband became dependent on alcohol while coping with the knowledge he had developed health problems. She stuck by him through it and tried to make things work despite enduring verbal, emotional and physical abuse. She tried to leave many times but explains why she felt she had to stay. She tells us her story of how her husband tried to murder her on three separate occasions. Finally, she did leave and a few days later, her husband sadly completed suicide. Kristen is a strong woman, a survivor and an example of what people go through when substance abuse winds through their lives and leaves devastation like a tornado.
