 My name is Susan Blocker. I was born in 1962 with a physical disabillity and I am SURVIVOR of Physical, Sexual, Verbal, Emotional and Economical abuse. Since 1996 via my website "Climbing Out Of The Spiral" I have provided a myriad of online support and counseling services to survivors and victims of abuse worldwide. My knowledge stems from my own personal experiences with childhood abuse and domestic violence. Through my own experience with abuse I've learned many valuable lessons that I want to pass on to those in need of guidance and support. Please allow me to help "YOU" begin your "Climb Out Of The Spiral".

 I am able to answer questions with regard to problems that result from emotional abuse or physical abuse in both dating and marriage relationships. Having been in an abusive relationship for many years, I know first hand the feelings, the questions and the doubts we go through as we try to make decisions about our lives. Often victims of abuse have deep faith based concerns regarding staying in these kinds of relationships which I am able to address as well.

 I am here to offer my expert advice to anyone who is experiencing domestic violence and/or other forms of abuse within their relationships. Domestic violence has plagued countless people and communities across the globe and it is so unfortunate that countless women have lost their lives to this deplorable crime. No one ever deserves to be abused by another person. I want my life to be positive and healthy, and I wish the same for everyone else. I know now that I am strong and that I can make it through anything. No one has the right to disrespect, mistreat, and abuse others. People only treat us how we allow them to; self-respect and a healthy self-esteem are crucial to our overall development. Remember, there is hope, so do not give up on yourself. Abuse should never be tolerated, period. Adversity builds character and teaches us many life lessons so that we are able to make better choices in the future.
