A Story of Assault, Abuse and Survival:

Can We Talk for REAL

Joining CAN WE TALK FOR REAL co-hosts Terry (Terry Boi) Jackson and Michelle Brown on Wednesday, October 7, 2015 is MARY EATMON author of “NINE HOUSES: Chronicles of One Woman’s Triumph Over Abuse, Shame and Neglect.” Mrs. Eatmon was born in 1931 in Boligee City in Green County, Alabama. At age 15 she was raped and out of fear for her family she ended up marrying her assailant. For 30 years, Mary endured the dysfunctional marriage enduring years of abuse and remaining silent not only out of fear but also due to the shame and stigma many victims of abuse suffer. Mrs. Eatmon will share her story in hopes of letting other women, in similar circumstances; know that they are not alone. She will share resources and insights into how to recognize and break the cycle of abuse. Now 83 years young, Mrs. Eatmon wrote “NINE HOUSES” to reach out to others and let them know how she no longer accepts mistreatments and attacks; how she realized that her being abused was not her fault; and how she mastered the art of forgiveness and moved on. Hers is an inspirational story of strength and triumph. Show starts at 8:30est/:7:30cst, call in to 347-215-8985, and Press 1 to speak. CAN WE TALK FOR REAL – your award winning blog radiocast.
