She shared:
“Leaving a Toxic marriage/relationship is Hard; I personally couldn’t leave cause l had lost myself in the marriage beguiled by religion & culture. Leaving is not automatic, here are some tips based on my life experiences.
Find a reliable friend to confide in ( don’t be like me, l was confiding in one of his sides. Get specialist support, you can pop into a local charity ‘drop in’ center. Searching online can be risky cause your partner can track your online searches.
“Keep a record of events, abusive incidents, evidence of your Partner’s behaviour safely, Time, dates, names & how you felt, record then transfer to a USB stick & keep safe… Know your civil & legal rights!! ( don’t be bamboozled like l was)….Financial Independence…. save, put money away if possible.
It’s hard cause l know that well…Make/ have copies of passports, birth certificates, marriage certificates, You can keep these outside the house, maybe a neighbour or trusted friend…PLSSSSS DIAL 999, ALWAYS CALL THE POLICE ( Don’t be like me always calling Pastors)…Also teach your children how to call 999….. or call 101 to report Non emergency”.
