NEW YORK --Paula Lucas noticed her husband's abusive behavior after her first son was born. She wanted to flee but had no where to turn because her family was living outside the United States and their passports were hidden from them. Eventually she was able to leave but not before she had become a mother of three boys who all were victims in this abusive relationship. Today she has now founded the American Domestic Violence Crisis Line which helps women and children living abroad find a way out. If you know anyone in a similar situation living outside the United States, please have them visit their website or call 866-US-WOMEN. For more, watch her story on the NBC Today Show web site.Labels: World News

I saw this on the Today Show and thought of PEARR and Women In Distress. What an incredible story this lady had and how she turned her life and her children's life completely around. I love the fact she's made this her passion and is another one out there helping women and children in desperate need! Extremely brave lady!!
