Today I speak to Becky Bell Jenkins, a victim of Domestic Violence and a son who was murdered at the hands of her abuser. Full disclosure, this may be a trigger for some so please make an informed decision before listening and if you or someone you know needs help, please call the National Domestic Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.
I don't know where to begin, as a mom of two sons herself I found my heart breaking with hers and tears with her own. Becky talks about the tragic shooting of her beloved son, Adam on that night of violence. Its still sometimes a blur of how it happened but from that day she tells us how she was made out to be the shooter and how she NEVER got any help for advocates or anyone concerning her rights as a victim of DV. Its been a year and she is still fighting for those rights.
From her family distancing themselves from her to virtually no support she gets through it one day at a time and she is thriving. She has her bad days as you can imagine but she gets back up and fights for Adams Voice.
She describes Adam as her world, her life, her protector, her SON. Adam saved Becky that night. Its an all too common story of Domestic Abuse. Someone gets hurt or in this case killed. Its an epidemic we need to eradicate and educate everyone on.
Becky's mission now is to help those in need, to be a voice to know there is hope and to fight! Please listen in to the story and if you would like to reach out and be a source of support or need support if you have a similar circumstance, she will be there for you. This woman is a fighter and I just love her and so blessed that she came on the show and was vulnerable to share her story. Her second life is just beginning!
