    I was marriad for years to a very violent man and i  did not know anyway out of my situation.  At this time i visited  a vicar that i had known since i was a child at sunday School he was the only person i knew that might be able to help every one else i knew i would get a beating just for associating with  let alone telling them what was happening.

   Each time he answered his door to me even on easter monday, saying Jean did you know it is easter?, and i did not know thats how bad things were.  I was terrified every day. 

    He took me in and listened to my story and in all those times never once did he preach to me he just listened ,some times i thought it strange that as a vicar he did not preach.  One day in dispair i told him nobody could help me, and he said God can, i looked at him and i could see he meant it, "You really believe that", I said. "Yes i do",he replied. He waved me goodbye, next thing i knew he had gone back to Scotland where he came from i will never forget him he probably saved my life a few times.
