(ABC) Oct. 26, 2006 In a tree-lined neighborhood in upstate New York, Susan, 46, a mother of three, never imagined her life would spin out of control.
But she found herself in a marriage that escalated from controlling to violent as she says she became a victim of domestic violence.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 5.3 million incidents of intimate partner violence occur each year in the United States.
But Susan's case is unique because her abuse was documented in a disturbing 51-minute home videotape.
Three years ago, Susan's husband ordered their 13-year-old son to videotape his mother being verbally and physically assaulted.
The chilling tape took a look behind closed doors into the brutal reality of domestic violence.
Susan told her story for the first time to ABC News' Diane Sawyer.
