Truths about women’s lived reality.

@VeroniqueB99
my 2nd husband was abusive. After almost 20 years, I met someone, that he didn't know, who offered me a safe space, where he couldn't find me.
I told my family that I had left.
We were brought up Catholic.
That Christmas, I remember getting a call from my uncle, who I adored, telling me that I should go back to the man who broke a rib by kicking me, when I was sleeping.
My religion was saying that I wasn't supposed to leave a man who beat me.
I went pagan, where I was considered EQUAL.I'm so so sorry that happened to you. And I'm so glad you were able to get out, not just of the situation but the mind control brainwashing religion gets you... Kudos to you. That took mega guts.

@VeroniqueB99 I had a premonition that if I stayed, I would not survive.

@VeroniqueB99 the worst part, some of the worst things he did he didn't remember, and once I was clean, that scared me even more than what he actually did.

@VeroniqueB99 we literally found out that he broke a rib because he hugged me a week later and dislodged the one he broke. I told the hospital that I slipped on a staircase while helping a friend move and fell on the newal post at the bottom of the stairs.

@VeroniqueB99 One would so wish that this would be a reality check if it were for just one person. 😕

@VeroniqueB99 toxic masculinity and patriarchy making people believe cruelty, manipulation and power-plays are "healthy", while in reality being more akin to self-harm
