You are not alone, says Amber Heard

Amber Heard recently wrote an essay about domestic violence in the latest issue of Porter magazine. “As I write this today, I can promise every woman who is suffering in silence, you are not alone. You may not see us, but we are there,” she said, according to EOnline.com.

She continued: “It takes real strength to come forward and it isn’t easy to raise your voice, to stand up for yourself and your truth. I was raised to be independent and self-reliant. I was never given nor wanted the burden of dependency. I never felt like anyone would or could rescue me, so naturally I resented the label of victim.”
