ALPHARETTA — Christy Denton left her abusive husband 13 years ago, and she has just recently begun to speak out about her experience with domestic violence. “It turned into something worse and spiraled out of control, turning into torment,” Denton told a room full of people wearing purple at The Metropolitan Club last week. Denton shared her survivor’s story during Forsyth County Family Haven’s inaugural Purple Purpose Luncheon, which celebrated its 25th anniversary of serving domestic violence victims.
