The victim of domestic violence telling her story
Domestic violence is obviously on the rise, not just in Nigeria but all over the world, as a lady has summoned up the courage to share her heartbreaking story of abuse in the hand of a man who vowed to love her for the rest of their lives. An Instagram user, @marea.cache, has taken to the social networking platform shared a shocking story of yet another domestic violence and how a lady was physically abused as well as how she managed to leave the toxic relationship which almost consumed her.
Here's what she wrote on Instagram,
"A year ago Today My life was Almost taken from me! This wouldn’t have been the first traumatic situation I’ve been through but by far the worst Because My actual life was up for question I was beat on for HOURS, Suffered 2 concussions! A broken eye socket, teeth knocked out ! And pistol whipped
"2015/2016 Brought me to my lowest point in life! I completely gave up on myself and let a Relationship dictate my whole life, Separating me from friends and family! I was trapped, dealing with EVERYTHING by myself! Not letting anyone know what was going on because of the fear that I had over my life & the fear of judgement from others.
"Every moment I got to leave (escape) I got caught and beaten. Everyday I woke up, I was mentally abused, arguments, fight after fight! It was so draining! But GOD! GOD works in mysterious ways … it took me a while but I faced it. Had God not allowed my eyes to be open to this point I would have probably eventually been dead.
"It wouldn’t have takken another beating because a gun could have been next, one shot and I could have been gone. It has happened and I’m so thankful for his grace and mercy upon me!
"I mean look at me, look at his healing power, look at the growth he has put in me! The strength! I’m still able to Love, I’m still able to Hold my head High!! I love me Again. I’m the most confident I’ve ever been. I’m in such a peaceful state of mind! And I’m using my talents and gifts that the lord has blessed me with!
"And I’m choosing to be one of the voices for millions of women around the world facing the same situation who might not be as strong as me! I’m here to let them know you can get help, you can speak up, SOMEONE does care! You do matter, And you can And will get THROUGH ! Keep god first and anything is possible !
"Thankyou lord #2017 thankful for LIFE &New beginnings"
