Chapter 18: The Journey Back To Me
Dawn Michele Jackson grows up in chaos with an alcoholic father/stepfather and is pulled into a high-school relationship marked by coercion, threats, and physical abuse that follows her into college—until she refuses his proposal and escapes. Unhealed trauma later strains her marriage and life despite service trips and spiritual classes. Training in the Grief Recovery Method becomes the turn: she recognizes lifelong grief, confronts shame for not leaving sooner, and gains tools to process pain. Letting go of anger, she chooses calm over drama, reclaims power and boundaries, and closes by inviting others to move toward light and joy.
