Disabled from past physical abuse
When I heard the diagnosis from the medical specialist doctor that I would be disabled due to the result of my scans and tests. I could not hold back the memory of the brutal beatings I had experienced and endured for years. My ex had messed me up and years later I am living the repercussions of his physical abuse.

Look At Me Now! :)
Healing to me means being able to SPEAK OUT about what happened and still feel SAFE. Coming out to face the world about my past physical/psychological/emotional abuse was a huge step in overcoming my fears. I am hopeful that my story will inspire others finding themselves in situations such as these to seek help immediately. No one should be abused! I currently live with all my children, my current lovely spouse and work as a professional Clinical Engineer, fulfilling my responsibilities and desires as a care provider. I always confess to myself “I AM IN THE SHELTER OF THE MOST HIGH” “THE LORD IS MY LIFE AND MY SALVATION, WHOM SHOULD I FEAR, HE IS THE STRENGTH OF MY LIFE, WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID!” I here to say NO MORE to all forms of Domestic Abuse!
Original story
No one should go through what I went through at the hands of my abuser. I found myself in a difficult situation after getting married to my ex-husband, who was and still is the title of one of the Magistrates Courts of that Country. I had a battered and traumatic experience all the 9 years of our marriage (experiences like having seven stitches done on my torn neck, being battered on a weekly basis with men’s leather belt and a big wooden cane made from tree he kept in his private room just for me; often times asked to go on my knees as an act of discipline or preparation to get beaten, internal bleeding, skin bruising, bleeding from my ears, noses, mouth; blows and punches to my face that spills blood from cuts) but because I loved him, his reputation, against the advice of many. I suffered in silence and lived in fear due to the threat to my life. The police failed me as they called him their boss. Escape! Say No More!!!
