GaptoothDiva talks candidly with Author LaDonna Smith about overcoming what some call a situation so close to “hell”… relationship abuse. If you or someone you know has experienced relationship abuse, whether physical, verbal or emotional, this is the show you need to listen to. The key points that we will be discussing surrounding this book are: (1) the need for continued awareness and education about domestic violence, (2) the need for an international database of marriages which can be accessed and used to verify marital statuses by (at min) state and government officials, and (3) the need for a domestic violence and abusers database. Sex offenders have a database why not those who commit domestic violence, as well as abusers? For four and a half years author LaDonna M. Smith thought that she was married to the man of her dreams but the marriage turned out to be a four and a half year nightmare, which God made disappear in moments. On August 14, 2003, LaDonna got married to a man she was prepared to spend the rest of her life. However, after days and months of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual abuse she found the strength to leave him. But she would soon return to endure even more hardships some repetitious some worse. Finally, a year later she left for good and three and a half years later she filed for a divorce. Only to find out that her spouse had filed for an annulment a month later. How can he file for an annulment after so many years of marriage? Because - before, during, and after their marriage he was still legally married to his first wife. The book I Married Satan takes you inside the life of a woman who suffered, endured and eventually triumphed through an abusive marriage; swallowed the pain; forgave her ex ____________ (you fill in the blank) and has since become stronger, wiser, and more spiritual than she could have ever imagined.
