“I was married to him for eight years. It was abusive the entire time. I just kept thinking, he could change, things could get better…”

The tenacity and strength it takes to go against the grain in society, should be revered!

Nicki Truesdell, was definitely meant to be on this earth. Although, her life may have never commenced based on a decision her 14 year old mother decided not to take…

• Some people are victims, and others are go-getters.
• Some let their environment get the better of them, and others are trailblazers.
• Some are stuck in fear, others are prepared to risk it all.

The world should be thankful for people like Nicki’s parents, and Nicki too. They’ve dealt with the ridicule, the shame, challenged the authorities, and paved the way for future generations to have an alternative learning environment.

She is an inspiring woman with a tough life story, and I also got to pick her brains on all things homeschooling!
