For years, Diana suffered physical, verbal, and psychological abuse from her husband. He refused to provide any financial support for her or her children for eight years of their marriage.

Of her own pain, she says, "It doesn't matter how big or difficult the challenge is, what matters is how we take care of it, get up, and survive."show less
