Domestic violence has been on a steady increase in recent times and this victim has chosen to speak out.
According to Facebook user Ja’Kara Palmore, she endured domestic violence from a man whom she loved and was married to. She had been married to her husband for less than a year when he turned her into a punching bag.
She took to her Facebook page to advice people who were enduring domestic violence, telling them to get out of it while they’re still alive.
Here’s what she had to say below:
“I decided to snap a pic of my face today… Not for sympathy because I don’t need it! As ugly as I may feel right now, I know that the feeling is only temporary and after having a few conversations with my family and friends I was forced to remember who and whose I AM!!! The beauty in my face was altered but NOT in my heart!!! Yes I am still angry because the man that I trusted with my life and my heart was determined to KILL ME!!! My spirit and heart was BROKEN but the more that I think about it the more that I feel led to share my story! I will be married for a year on the 28th of this month and the man that I chose to spend the rest of my life with was not who I thought he was! Do I love him? Absolutely and because I love him I was blinded by the signs that he had already given me! When someone shows you who they are BELIEVE them! I wanted to see the good in him, I wanted to help him shake whatever it was that had a hold on his mind but a person has to first want that for themselves! As hard as it is I have to forgive that man regardless of what he did to me! I refuse to allow this situation to hinder my growth and all the blessings that are in store for me! I trust that God will get me THROUGH this situation and I will come out on top!I AM AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE and NO one should EVER have to go through what I went through! If you are in an abusive relationship GET OUT OF IT… Trust GOD!!! And #LIVE”
