Alex Skeel and Jordan Worth had been together since 2012 and eventually made Bedfordshire, England their home with their two babies. Their life seemed great but not everything is always as it seems. Behind closed doors, Jordan was an abuser and Alex was stuck, scared, and feared if he left that his babies may be in danger. This is Alex’s story of survival.
