I Am a Victim of Domestic Violence

Today was my first time experiencing domestic abuse. He slapped me and pushed me on the floor and took my daughter. I fought with all my night to get her back she was so afraid. Then he grabbed me by the throat I fought back as much as I could while I watched my daughter scream and cry. I couldn't breathe I couldn't even say anything. I thought I was going to die. He then threw all my belongings into the hallway all the neighbours stood and watched and said nothing as I scampered on the floor to pack my things. I had to walk past everyone, they all stared and said nothing. It felt like a walk of shame but now as I think of it it was a walk of victory. I could have died, I could have stayed but I took my daughter and left.

You have a safe home for you and your daughter?

Staying away is harder than walking away. Remember you were lucky to walk away. Remember he will lie and promise to change. He will cry and look dishevelled and try to win you back with hearts and flowers. If you go back he will eventually do it again and it could be worse.

The being strong part is in the staying away.

Much luck and blessings 💜

@Paliglass
I know it will be hard but I will be staying with my mother. And she has agreed to let me stay as long as I need to and help me financially and with my daughter. I plan to stay strong and never go back. As if he truly loved me he would never put his hands on me like that.
