Ask a Domestic Abuse Victim

Pay it
Forward

25 value - Virtual OK - Posted Jul 20, 2017

I will answer any questions you have about what it's like to be a victim of domestic abuse and how I eventually dragged myself out of the cycle.

Please be prepared for honest answers that are not necessarily pretty.

Because people ask why I talk about it;
Personally, I've never believed that things happen for a reason. But I do believe we can take the things that happen to us and use them to better someone else's life. So I talk about my experiences- it doesn't change them, make them go away, or make them any worse. Occasionally I feel the shame and stigma of having been a victim for so long. But if that's the only cost to me to help someone else? That seems a worthwhile price.

****EDIT**** I'm seeing a lot of people save this but not ask any questions, so please let me clarify/confirm; I am NOT easily offended, and I'm not shy. I have gone through a lot to get where I am and it has made me a stronger person. I'd love to answer your questions, so please don't be afraid to ask. At the very least, say hi!

Training & Qualifications


A domestic abuse survivor.

I am now happily married to a wonderful man who would never dream of hurting me in any way.

Availability & Preferences

Trading Preference: Pay it forward – pass on the good deed!

About Cassandra Walker

I'm a self taught quilter/ stay at home mom who strives for excellence in everything I do. I love to create, and after having spent YEARS attempting different hobbies, I finally found the one best sui...ted for me- who doesn't love such utter versatility?! I also love to bake, go on adventures, and explore people from around the world- people are so...so INTERESTING! And fun. Always lots of fun :) Baking has been a relatively recent adventure, too- it's so much fun to experiment and work with new flavors and ideas- just one idea can create a thousand totally unique others by tweaking little things. Utterly glorious! From pineapple upside down cake to diabetic friendly cookies; who doesn't love the finer things in life. And with over 20 people as my guinea pi...I mean, taste testers, I just know you'll love them as much as the rest of us. Perhaps my driving passion in life has been to help people better understand themselves, as well as those around them. Whether it's through a more quiet medium, such as writing, or a more expressive one, such as a conversation, I do so love to understand people in order to help them. We are all so different, unique individuals, and yet our core passions, our NEEDS, remain so utterly unchanging. People are so WONDERFUL! So beautifully, wonderfully, glorious. I can't wait to see them, meet them, KNOW them- how else can you possible understand the motivations and inner desires of life? And isn't that the current that runs through us all?show more
