I NEVER understood why the person I loved the most, hurt me the most. It’s 33 years later and I’m a 50 year old woman now, not a 16 year old girl. The pain is STILL real. The damage IS permanent. It changed who I was and am. I rose above it then, and got myself out of it. I have to say to this day the hardest part is loving the person who abused you, and never getting over that love. I think to myself how if he loved me as I loved him not only would he never have hurt me, but at least he would have found a way to make things right with me and earn my forgiveness. I’m not sure boys, or men understand how much they destroy a girl, or a woman when they take away her soul. Abuse on the surface can heal, but the internal scars never seem to go away. Thank god I loved myself enough to know my whole life that I deserved better. I never regret leaving. But to this day I still feel a love and a loss for this person that I wish I didn’t. It wasn’t easy, in fact it’s still a challenge everyday. I made a choice and it was to love myself more than I loved him. We have spoken from time to time over the years. I told him not so long ago that he was the best and the worst thing that ever happened to me. The apologies I got from him weren’t enough. Ineffective and empty. He went on to live a happy fulfilling life with someone else. While I could not accept substitutes and lie to myself. I’m proud of my strength. And for me this needs to serve the greater good. I believe I’m meant to share my story to help young girls speak up and seek help. I did it all alone. Like Jana, I told no one. To see her finally open up has made me want to make this experience count. No matter how long it takes,... speak up. Everything is for a greater purpose. Maybe this truly was NEVER about ME. I just want to help heal others, in turn, maybe that’s when I can FINALLY be healed myself. #strongwomanspeakup

I'm leaving my abuser as I write this. I am in a Hotel parking lot finally free. I'm scared as hell but after reading your comment, I know it will be ok. Thanks for sharing. You helped me.

[@longislandny696]

I’m searching for a safe place to stay.My husband of 1 year has abused me since day one and I told him this morning I want a divorce. I deserve to be loved and respected . I’m too good a person to get the kind of treatment he’s been giving me.

[@christopherseiler5238]

[@cpace4031]

Thank you for your story and I will always keep you in my prayers and heart.

[@raech1231]

Jana deserves sooooooo much good .. she deserves all the good

[@asanchezpagan]

I just recently discovered your music and songs and you must be a great person to write the songs that you write. You deserve the best and I am sure that you will eventually find the love of your life who will love you for who you are and will respect and treat you how you deserve to. I wish you all the best.

[@xariah2546]

Such a lovely and bold woman! God knows her hurt and pain, and I am inspired to pray that the love of God reaches the deep wounds. Just another testament to the fact that everyone, no matter how famous or good at acting etc can go through tough stuff. Her story was not just for her, it is for all the people who silently suffer in abusive relationships. It’s so beautiful that she is empowered to share it, even through tears. Love you Jana, keep on💜💕🙏🏾

[@bp30656]

What an amazing woman!!

[@lisapayne6350]

This is an entertainer. Singing and acting she can do like a champ but talking about her abuse obviously very very difficult! That is what this type of abuse does to you. It can take a woman like her and with so many "things" going for her and in her favor and slowly break and take away every thing in you. You can be completely consumed like being engulfed in a fire and all that's left is ash. You exist put everything that felt like living is gone. It is true that celebrities have a large platform and can reach many many people when they tell their stories but every abused woman/ man needs to remember that helping just one person by their story could save a life. No one ever thinks they will be an abused spouse or partner. No one wants to be right? No one is immune and it is not the abused persons fault. No one is perfect but it takes evil people to inflict this type of agony onto another human being. Very few abusers actually get help and change and I applaud those that do!! I really do because there are few that prove to have been decent humans with issues they took responsibility for and chose to work on themselves. The rest are evil. They don't want to change in the first place but some may not even have the capacity to.

[@stuartedgar5921]

What a beautiful brave person!

[@melkameayehu4520]

that silent moment at the middle speaks aloud

[@amandaramsey9002]

This has really inspried me to speak out about so much.

[@nitetrain7136]

Jana, Your so Adorable. I’m very sorry someone treated you this horribly. I could only dream of having a wife like you. Your country songs and your voice are amazing. When I looked you up as I was watching the Hallmark movie “A Welcome Home Christmas “ I couldn’t believe your from down state mi as I’m in upper Michigan. Maybe at some point we crossed paths somewhere. You look super cute in your country style button down shirts in your movies. I’m sure you would look cute as can be in anything though. I will have to watch your other Hallmark movies. Keep the country songs and country videos coming to hun. Would be nice to meet one day. Have you ever been to the U.P. Or Mackinac Island? Do you snowmobile or ride atvs? Take care adorable Michigander.

[@StephaneGervais4769]

she's amazing wow love you sweetheart!

[@I-Love-Taylor-Swift]

She is so beautiful in every way - looks, figure, personality, character, music. Wow! Amazing woman. So glad she's got to this level now. Glad her abuser went to prison (hope he got his justice). He doesn't deserve a woman in his life.

[@lluisajheneferlennon4523]

I Love Taylor Swift he killed himself

[@PETERMOONredeyexpress]

What a light 🕯️

[@stephanief7136]

Hi, my name is Stephanie and I myself am a survivor of an abusive relationship (high school). I want you to know how very brave and strong I think all of you are, and that you are an inspiration to all of us. I made my very first KZbin video that sheds light upon different societal issues and situations. Its kinda long! I hope you enjoy it, and may you be blessed with good health and happiness during these troubling times. Thank you for sharing your stories. And yes, sometimes the people we love the most, do hurt us the most. I think there could be many different reasons for that, including certain mental illnesses that should be considered. I remember reading about how people who have bipolar/manic depressive disorder sometimes claw when they don't really mean to, when it is least expected (because love leads you to research everything you need to know when it concerns someone you love). Also, some people were raised in a household where affection may not have been shown, so they may not know how to show love, or their version of love may be very different from ours. I hope that the people here, including myself, are able to move past their hurt and pain and can take the time to identify what makes them unique, and write it down and remember the good qualities that you have. Dig deep! We'll get there. From Stephanie in Staten Island, New York. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6bQfYCihJKrd6s

[@markmorton3763]

Jana Kramer Thank you for adding me

[@nunuwin44]

So sorry you had to go through this but you rose above the abuse and hate. I love you. I watch all your movies.

[@laboitedepandore8594]

Très sympathique cette fille !:)

[@indytherottweiler9002]

Thank you for sharing. I lost my child when I was 6 months pregnant to my abuser and he sex traffic me and had his family stalk and abuse you he would rape me with whatever he had including guns when he got me the last time a friend called the police and I was taken to the hospital and he was taken to jail. A year later they came and put me in jail because a girl running drugs across the border lied and said he forced me to put a room in my name and made me pick up her money after she'd prostitute and give it to him. Even though they had major documents of what he did to me including video and pictures of the abuse they made me his Co defendent and his victim in the same case. With not one single but of evidence I did anything wrong. My lawyer was the worst lawyer I've ever seen. I'm 32 with not a single thing in my record only police contact I've had is when I'd run from him and had to call them to save my life. They told me I should have left even though I had called a shelter for 2 months straight and no one could fit me in. I'm so tramitized some days I can't think straight I have no family and no money and no one to help me. It's been a year and a half since he's been in jail and every day I'm fearful of not only his family and friends because he's a known gang member but the detectives that victimized me. I have no voice and my story and life stopped with him. Some times I think of committing suicide because it's hard to deal with the pain of what he did to me. I don't feel like a women I lost everything I had my baby and now my freedom. I wish someone would have been there to help me

[@martinthomas1293]

I will never understand how someone could abuse someone they say they love. My father was an abusive drunk who hit my mother and me I stood up to him and it use to piss him off worse. I myself have a temper now due to this but thanks to god I’ve been able to control it and if I do see red our feel like I may lose control I leave and find somewhere quiet. Because I refuse to be like him I even married someone for a short time who was a cheater and liar and I would never have hit her either

[@chrishaynes7057]

[@tammiepage6489]

[@HeathLynM92]

Harpoon2theRescue you’re a sad little man.

[@davejones1959]

She is stunning, not the sharpest in the bunch. Mainly got by on her looks not her brains or common sense.
