“The first time it happen, I can’t say I was shocked because even before we marry, I was afraid of him. It was not like anything he would say but it was always me wondering what he would say or do. So, when he slap me that first time when I asked him where he was going, it was just like a confirmation,” she said.
“He walked out and went his way and I cried myself to sleep. He came home back and said he was sorry and then wanted to have sex. I really didn’t want it, but then it was like I wanted to feel loved and then I didn’t think I could have said no.”
That one slap was the beginning of years of abuse that this mother of two endured at the hands of her husband. In the end, she managed to leave but the scars are ever present to remind her of those horrific years of abuse.
