Rachael Venters
My name is Rachael Venters. This year I will be 37 years old. I was born and raised in Southern Illinois in a poor farming community. Illinois is where I first experienced domestic violence as a teenager at the hands of a boyfriend, whom I later married and divorced. This is also where I met the perpetrator who moved me to Northern Idaho where he tortured me and almost ended my life. I now live in a violence-free home with my two children and our pets.
