I just felt like sharing this here. I have been in an abusive marriage for 8 years with no child because it was from one miscarriage to the other. I lost 5 pregnancies in the hands of my ex husband because I was his punching bag. There was nothing I did that pleased, I would lie for him in the presence of family and friends to cover up why I have many bruises on my body. I became a good makeup artiste because I had to cover up my scars somehow with all the many slaps I got on a daily basis. In fact it was as if my face was made for slaps. I was beating to a point that I was rushed to the hospital by my gate man. I dated my ex husband for 3 years before marriage, yes I knew he had temper issues then because his mummy left him when he was 3 but he promised and swore to me that he would change but he only got worse. Each time he beat me and I tried to run, he would cry and beg me that he would die if I leave that he can't do without me. After my last visit to the hospital due to the beating I got from him, I left him and didn't look back this time last year. I promised myself to never look back and I have kept to it. He has begged and begged but I changed my contact because of him. Since I left him, life has been good. I have been enjoying myself and working as a makeup artiste, At least I learnt something from the abuse but most importantly I learnt to love myself which is what I am doing now, I might remarry later but I think I just want to get myself back first.
