Silent Cries of a Military Wife

About the Book

Silent Cries of a Military Wife is a terrifying, sometimes hilarious, sometimes downright devastating truth that I lived for over a decade. For years, like many others, I accepted things that no woman should have. I allowed the one person who was supposed to give me love and respect treat me like I was less than nothing. I thought by accepting the treatment, at some point, he would see that what he was doing was hurting me and it would force him to change, but sadly, that never happened. I watched myself change as a woman, mother, daughter, and friend into a person I didn’t even recognize. I asked the military and those around me for help, but my cries repeatedly went unnoticed. When I finally received help, I was ostracized by those whom I called friends because of my decision to stay. Now I want to share my story with all of you and all those women who are silenced.

About the Author

My name is Myla Silence, and I was born and raised in upstate New York. At the age of 18 I married the man I thought I would spend the rest of my life with, and gained the title of an military wife. Being married to someone in the military has its challenges everyday, especially when it comes to the travel. Being away from your family and friends can be hard, and start to take a toll on your spirit if your new military family isn’t what you thought. For me, with every new placed we moved came a new heartache, and turmoil. The feeling of loneliness even when around people became more and more intense. So one day while hiding in a closet crying silently I grabbed a note pad and started to write what I was feeling, because I never wanted to forget my pain. I wanted it to be the reason I become a stronger person so I started penning “Silent Cries Of An Military Wife” to help me get through one of the toughest times in my life. Whether it was the pain that was brought to me, or the pain brought on by myself I was determined to get through it, and writing became my escape. I was able to say my truth in writing because I could not say it out loud
