RE: 16 years ago , and a bit longer ago
Although this doesn't sound like the beginning of a happy story, I still think it's important that it be told.
Thank you for joining steemit, and @familyprotection.
It can be hard to tell from reading text whether it's true or not, but this is one story I know to be true, because I know you personally, and from the very little you told me this is a tough one!
I think what you have just started now will be hugely beneficial for you and your family, or at least I hope so Amala.
Bless.
Thank you Mark, for encouraging me to write my story.It is very difficult, but must give it a try. In this first piece of writing I have left out all strong emotions. I am a bit overwhelmed by the effect it has on me .
I have gone through those years on my own, without any support or understanding...and yes, people often doubted what I told them was true.So I stopped sharing long ago.Realizing my pain now....I cry.
It is a tough one...and it will take some time to write it all down.
Thank you again for your support.
Love, Amala
Stories like this break my heart. My country, Nigeria doesn't have a functional CPS-like organisation but I've seen the damage psychopathic husbands can cause. My girlfriend's mom lived every single day of her life under the constant physical and psychological abuse by her husband for over 2 and half decades with the kids suffering it all. If there's a complaint, the standby corrupt police officers would be available to "handle" the situation. It may not the CPS here, but I assure you, there are lots of solar institutions or organizations ruining families and lives of innocent individuals.
