The first time I listened to this story, I shed a tear or two because of how much pain Deanna had to go through all her life. I really admire her courage for choosing to rise above all these and share her story. She is indeed a survivor and I am super proud of her. This story is a must listen and you definitely need to share this with your friends and loved ones or any survivor of abuse you know.
