I'm glad you got out of it. I know that Aaron worked very hard to isolate Joy from her friends and family in order to increase his own power, and I don't doubt that your husband did this same thing to you.
Joy lives 3 states away from me now; she left Texas before the restraining order expired. We still keep in touch, but I haven't seen her in years.
The happy ending can take time - don't give up on it. The 6-month-old baby in this story is now an 8 year old girl. It took a few years for Joy to build up her confidence and trust again, and she hit a few bumps along the way. She did make it, though, and you can too. Hang in there!
