It was December 2009 when Tampa resident Audrey Mabrey\u2019s youngest son\u2019s first birthday was approaching. A time she should have been picking out decorations and a cake, but instead was waking up confused from a six-week coma in an intensive care unit. A coma she slipped into after she was hit on the head with a hammer four times, covered in gasoline and set on fire by her husband, the father to her two young sons.<\/p>\n
After weeks of speaking with doctors and undergoing physical therapy, Mabrey finally felt she was ready to look at her injuries. What she saw in the mirror wasn\u2019t the same woman she knew, one who had won beauty pageants as a child. Instead she was looking at what she describes as a horror-film monster like Freddy Krueger. More than 80 percent of her body had been burned. In that moment a flood of memories from the attack came over her.<\/p>\n
\u201c[My now ex-husband] might have robbed me physically, but I refused to allow him to rob me mentally, emotionally or spiritually.\u201d \u2013 Audrey Mabrey<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cI could see that butcher knife held to my throat as he attempted to rape me,\u201d Mabrey says. \u201cI could feel him bludgeoning me in the head over and over. I could taste the gasoline in my mouth. I could smell my burning flesh and I could hear my neighbor screaming as she rushed to my aid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although it was overwhelming, Mabrey made a choice as she stared at her reflection to hold onto hope.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy thought process in that moment was [my now ex-husband] might have robbed me physically, but I refused to allow him to rob me mentally, emotionally or spiritually,\u201d Mabrey says.<\/p>\n
Three years later Mabrey\u2019s abuser was sentenced to serve life in prison and in the nine years since the attack she\u2019s undergone many plastic surgeries to restore her former appearance as much as possible. She\u2019s also kept her determined, positive spirit alive by traveling the country to spread awareness on domestic violence, an issue that affected more than 12 million men and women in the United States last year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n
Confidential Campus Support\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
One of her recent speaking engagements took place earlier this month at the annual Light Up the Night event, which is held every October in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and is put together by UCF Victim Services<\/a>. The organization provides crisis intervention, safety and security for anyone in the UCF community that\u2019s been impacted by crime, violence and abuse.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe give [victims] their options \u2014 the good, the bad and the ugly \u2014 ask them \u2018What do you want to do?\u2019 and listen to them,\u201d says Lauren Portal \u201911<\/strong>, who began working as an advocate for Victim Services in 2014. \u201cWe\u2019re completely confidential, which is extremely important. We don\u2019t call the police over if [victims] don\u2019t want us to, we don\u2019t report incidences to Title IX and things of that nature.\u201d<\/p>\n
On college campuses, 43 percent of women who date report experiencing some sort of violent or abusive dating behavior, with more than half of students finding it difficult to identify these problems at all, according to the National Domestic Violence Hotline.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbusers are very good at presenting things in a way like they\u2019re loving and caring about their partner.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Christine Mouton \u201902MS<\/strong>,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cThe problem is those things happen over a long period of time and people don\u2019t recognize them as the signs they are because they\u2019re so incremental,\u201d says Christine Mouton \u201902MS<\/strong>, director of Victim Services. \u201cAbusers are very good at presenting things in a way like they\u2019re loving and caring about their partner, so their partner doesn\u2019t initially perceive it as a controlling behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n
Changes in behavior and clothing, not wanting to hang out often and always checking in with their partner are some of the signs Mouton says to look for if you suspect someone is experiencing domestic violence.<\/p>\n
Challenges With Coming Forward\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Victim Services has provided help to 600-800 people affected by a range of crimes each year for the past three years.<\/p>\n
Although recent movements like #MeToo and events such as the Brett Kavanaugh investigation before his Supreme Court confirmation have increased the national conversation around sexual harassment and violence, Mouton says she hasn\u2019t found any indicators of increased cases reported at UCF.<\/p>\n
Men, particularly, have a hard time reporting abuse, she says. It can often feel emasculating for them to admit a woman is their abuser, although there are now more than ever before. Often the abuse takes the form of scratching, screaming and other demeaning behavior.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re seeing this on both sides, in all types of relationships,\u201d Mouton says.<\/p>\n
How to Get Help\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Anyone seeking help from Victim Services can call the 24\/7 hotline at 407-823-1200 or text 407-823-6868. They can speak with an advocate, who has at least a bachelor\u2019s degree in a relevant field, has completed 40 hours of victim-designation training, and regularly attends conferences and workshops to advance their training. From there, the caller will be provided with campus and community resources to find the right support for them.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of times victims won\u2019t like to talk about it because it makes it more real, but we\u2019re literally an ear.\u201d \u2013 Lauren Portal \u201911<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cWe have a relationship assessment that we give [victims when they contact us] and it goes from less serious to really serious behavior,\u201d Mouton says. \u201cWhen you put a list in front of them, once they see all those checks, it\u2019s a reality check for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
The advocates will also talk through a list of reporting options with the victim, such as filing a police report, injunction or order of protection, but will never try to persuade someone to do so if they aren\u2019t comfortable.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of times victims won\u2019t like to talk about it because it makes it more real, but we\u2019re literally an ear,\u201d Portal says. \u201cWe want to listen to you. We\u2019re not going to force you to do anything you don\u2019t want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
