Have you ever seen a real case of domestic Violence in your life? Tell us about it.

Yes, I have witnessed a real case of domestic Violence. So few years back in the house where we lived. This man was living in one of the flats with his wife and three children. The family was living in peace, things because hard for them when the man had a setback in his business and things because difficult for them. The whole family depended on the wife's small foodstuff shop for survival. The man started beating the wife at any slightest provocation. He always steal her money and spends it on drinking. Nobody in the house we live could call him to order. People advised the women so many times to separate from the husband both she refused. After awhile, the Landlord asked them to vacate the house so that they won't kill someone in his house.

In conclusion, domestic violence is bad and have so many deadly consequences. Thanks for reading through my post, I invite @ovulama, @bessie2023 and @adachukwu to participate in this contest.
