Roxanne's Moving Forward Monday Story

Moving Forward Monday by Roxanne Martin💜🤩🧚‍♀️

Since leaving my ex-husband in November 2017

my life has changed...

for the better.

First and most importantly, I’ve regained a relationship with the LORD. What a powerful GOD we serve. He has stood beside me every step of the way

and I can say, I think he kind of likes me:-)

I have traveled extensively. Some of the places I’ve been to are Colorado, Alaska, California, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Florida. I've been on several beach and camping trips with family and friends. I’ve also been to live concerts in the Woodlands and Dallas.

I was able to buy my OWN home and I absolutely LOVE IT!!!

I am the Education and Awareness Chairperson for VOICES of Acadiana. I am actively working with counselors for the Lafayette Parish School System to implement procedures to bring awareness to domestic violence.

I am a committee member for ACT 833 for the Lafayette Parish School System. We are working to design procedures to allow teachers across the parish to seamlessly implement ACT 833 for our special needs population.

I have maintained a loving and healthy relationship with both of my children.

My daughter is an Enrollment Specialist for UL Lafayette and

my son graduated from LSUE and is now a respiratory therapist.

I have been able to spend so much time

with my immediate family and this in itself makes my heart happy!!! 

Last but certainly not least, I am engaged to the love of my life!! We dated for a year and a half in high school and have re-kindled our romance. We love to cook, travel, listen to music, and enjoy spending time with our

friends, families, and grandkids. 

            

If I had one thing to tell domestic abuse victims and survivors

it would be to never give up hope.

Hope in yourself and a better life.

Hope that your future can change for the better.
