Dying Delaware Woman Gives up all to Expose Truth

Why after you have been the victim of Domestic Violence would you give everything to your abuser? Why after those injuries are taking your life? Why after you have been cheated out of not only all of your possessions but the relationship with the children you love... would you give up not only the home you put 18 years of your life into? But also give up the only other financial help you have the stocks left to you by your mother? Allowing yourself to be left homeless, disabled, and dying on the street...

According to Eileen Campagne the Delaware woman who on August 29th, 2007 signed over the house she bought with her husband Charles Campagne in 1988 and after over 22 years of marriage to him; and got nothing for her trouble. She also gave him the stocks left to her by her mother worth at the time approximately 9k she was told to do it by God. "God told me to do it... He said to give everything to him, so I did."

"He was trying to cheat me out of everything anyway, by trying to keep the final distribution of our assets a secret, so I would get nothing." said Ms. Campagne when asked to explain why she would do such a thing.

"He can't lie now and say he wasn't trying to take everything or wanted to do what was right" she explains.

Ms. Campagne has been using her credit card to live since the court ordered payments Mr. Campagne was told to pay ended on August 2nd, 2007. Her money has now run out and she faces being separated from her beloved service dog "Indy" and homelessness on the street. She uses a walker or two canes to get around. Her condition is paralyzing her and her ability to breathe and if left untreated will result in her death. The result of a spinal injury that she suffered at the hands of her husband on New Years Day 2007 when he slammed her to the floor injuring her neck.

Delaware Domestic Violence Disaster Area

With all the information available to protect women from Domestic Violence not only in the home but in the courts the First State or Delaware is Last when it comes to providing the protection women need. Despite our Vice-President elect Joe Biden's own stated and avowed personal commitment to protecting the most vulnerable of our citizens; the women and children of the First State are too often abused and imprisoned further by the very system put in place to protect them. It was my own journey through this jungle of lopsided injustice that is being masqueraded as not only justice... but equal protection under the law... This dismal failure to protect has prompted me to speak out for all those whose voices are silenced in the interest of protecting the abusers and the court system that allows them to continue to prey on their innocent victims usurping not only their safety but their rights and entitlements that are supposed to be protected by law.

Some might say I am cynical but the truth; when you are dying is of the utmost importance, as a Christian I believe you can't get into Heaven without it... Jesus after all is the truth... and the way so if you aren't walking in the truth you have lost your way. I walked in the truth, I tried very hard to do what was right, I was not seeking to be vindictive, and I never sought to ruin anyone's life or reputation. I just wanted the abuse to end and for my children and I to be able to live free from it. Mine is not your typical abuse story, my husband Chuck Campagne wasn't the type to go out on an drunk only to come home and abuse me physically like the majority of abuse cases are. They fit that cycle of abuse that is hanging up in every women's center I have ever been in, but we didn't fit into it, because my husband was not your classic abuser. He didn't need to be angry or drunk to abuse me, he had a spanking fetish which turned to abuse, and he would beat me just in case I had any ideas of doing something wrong.

To Be Continued...
