You do learn from what you've done in the past.

Michael and I talk at least every two weeks. He understands why I've done the things I have.

I posed nude to show my parents they couldn't dictate to me any more - that I control my life.

Our marriage is strictly in name only. It has never been consummated.

I think women need to have a lobby. I feel that women need to speak out. The first time a man hits you is one too many times and you need to do something about it. That something about it is walking out that door and seeking for help and never looking back.

I'll be honest with you: love is not always what we think it is. It is a roller coaster ride going through this, and it's beautiful at the same time.

I knew that there was an underlying thing there that I was never really able to come face to face with. There's a part of me that wants to always protect myself because of what I had gone through. But I learned that you have to let people in. Going to the therapist kind of helped me with that.
