Welcome to Strength in My Story, a blog focused on empowering the voices of those who have faced adversity and abuse.
Who Am I?
My name is Amber Sheffield, a 27 year old who has just recently escaped from a 9 year narcissistic and abusive relationship with my ex-husband. I am also disabled with a chronic condition that the medical profession is still working to determine. However, these things do not stop me from doing everything that I can to live the best life that I possibly can. From running half marathons, to becoming a foster parent, adopting my new dog Pierce, and working with both children and adults to help them navigate the challenges in their lives. I have been on the most difficult journey of my life this past year, but I am here and ready to share with all of you my story.
My Goal
Throughout the process of getting away from my ex-husband I have learned so much about the difficulties of recognizing toxicity in relationships, navigating the legal system, power dynamics in divorce, and dealing with the grief and fear that comes from abusive relationships. I am here to share my story and what I have learned throughout my ever evolving journey to show others in similar situations that they are not alone, they deserve a better life, and their story and voices need not be silenced.
