My name is Angela Bateman, I am a newly married mother of 8 children between my husband and I, and a grandmother of two.  I am 51 years young, a disabled retired veteran. 

While serving 30 years in the United States Air Force I graduated college with a degree in Human Resource Management. Residing now in the outskirts of San Antonio, I relocated here from Nevada to be near my family and hometown of Beaumont, Texas as I neared the end of my military career. 

Nowadays, I’m enjoying my retirement as a licensed real estate agent, spending time with my family, or finding release through dancing, traveling or watching some good old football.

 “I can be changed by what happens to me but I refuse to be reduced by it.”  Maya Angelou

"I have survived, because

I AM a Survivor."

"You can recognize survivors of abuse by their courage. When silence is so very inviting, they step forward and share their truth so others know they are not alone."
