Denise Williams

Denise has endured every mother's worst nightmare. Her husband murdered their two sons, aged seven and eight, in a despicable act of revenge when she told him she was ending their abusive marriage.

Incredibly, Denise has rebuilt her life. She is now happily remarried and lives with her three young children in Birmingham, where she works as an insurance administrator.

Denise would like to tell her story to help other women recognise the signs of control and abuse, and leave before it's too late. She strongly feels she is a survivor, not a victim.
