Chronicle Of HOPE - 13


Yes...HOPE!.








HOPE....AFTER THE BRUTAL SPOUSAL ABUSE

For weeks, I have pondered on whether to send in my story as a chronicle of narrative or of Hope. I see it as a chronicle of hope and I pray it gives hope to someone out there.  But how do I tell my story? I do not wish to recount my ordeal, coz I no longer want to dwell in a place that I have left behind. But how can I tell you how far I have come, if you don't understand the journey.

I met my husband, now ex when I was 19. I was a student at the university while he was already working and we were just friends. He was much older than myself and I related with him as an older friend. Besides, he had a girlfriend he was seeing then. After a few months, he started visiting me in school, asking me to date him while promising to break up with his girlfriend if I agreed to date him. I didn't have a good intuition about him neither did I like him that much so I kept rejecting his offer. I remember the day he broke up with his girlfriend (I was in my final year then) and he drove straight to my school to tell me about the break up and ask if I was now willing to be his girlfriend. 


It was the weirdest thing I had ever witnessed in my life. I found it difficult to understand why he would not give himself time to grieve the end of the relationship before jumping into another. Off course, I still said no. We remained friends.

Fast forward to when I started my NYSC and I was posted to a place for my primary assignment which was just a walking distance from his office. He would visit me almost every day at work. Soon, he became a known face at my office. Very friendly and nice with everyone. No one could understand why I refused to date him. He met my family, and even my dad fell in love with him. I started thinking perhaps I was wrong about him and agreed to date him. He was the best boyfriend ever, very caring, attentive and extremely generous. I was happy. Less than 3 months after we started dating, he asked me to marry him. I was excited and I accepted. So we started planning our wedding. Barely, 2 days to the introduction, we had a major disagreement while we were out together. He insulted me so much. He even walked out on me and left me to find my way home. He later called to tell me he was canceLling the introduction and wasn't interested in the marriage anymore. 


Although the introduction was cancelled, we somehow managed to reconcile and he came to apologize to my parents and a new date was fixed. The introduction came and went and a date was fixed for the Nikkah. At this point, I began to notice very subtle changes in his attitude. He became increasingly demanding, questioning, aggressive and very controlling. He would flair up at the slightest thing and accuse me of not being submissive. A week didn't pass without drama. He began to threaten me that he would call off the marriage.


 Whenever I tried to walk out of the relationship, he would call, plead and cajole me back into staying with him. I became unsettled. I knew something wasn't right but I wasn't sure what the problem was.

Three days to the wedding, we had another heated argument. We were in a taxi and he asked the driver to stop and ordered me out of the taxi. I had to find my way home again. At this point, I felt I have had enough. I was not going forward with the wedding. I refused his calls. I got home and explained to my parents. My mum was ready to stand by me and cancel the wedding but my dad was against it. He came to my house that night and apologized to my parents again. 


They all talked and pleaded with me to let it hold. I was advised to be more patient and prayerful and to put more efforts into understanding him. He promised that he would be a different person going forward blah blah...

The marriage came and went, nothing changed. Things turned from bad to worse. I found out so many things about him I never knew before. He was a liar, a manipulator and a fraud. He was way deep in debt owing millions of Naira. Some loans he had to lie using me to obtain them. I don't know when he collected it or what he did with the money. He drained my account till the last penny. He graduated from verbal abuse to physical assaults at the slightest provocation. If I was silent it was a problem. It meant I was upset that he corrected me for doing something wrong and that warranted beating. 


If I spoke back, I was rude and not submissive. It was a no-win situation. He would later cry and apologize to me. Promise never to do it again and we say we should keep it between us. Yet he will go behind my back and report to my dad that I was "misbehaving" and he was just tolerating me cos of the age difference. It went on for months..., he would have his girlfriend send insulting messages to my phone and insult me on the phone with his number. He would ask me to borrow money from friends and family and I would refuse, that made me a bad wife. He was already in debt, I don't know what he does with the money, so why would I borrow on his behalf? He started going behind my back to ask my relatives for money. Luckily, they would refuse him and come back to tell me about it. Trust me, they all became fed up with him but where only accommodating him cos of me. 

The beatings never stopped too. During pregnancy and even after birth. Neither did his lying or deception of others. It became unbearable. I was never happy. I lost my smile. I was depressed and just going through normal daily functioning. I was walking on eggshells around him. If I narrate my entire experience, trust me it will take too long and appear unreal to most people. 


Anyway, we had a terrible fight one day, I was carrying our baby and he still beat the hell out of me. I do not remember what happened to the baby. Did I put the baby down? Did my baby fall? I can't remember. I decided I had had enough. This was it. I started packing. I was leaving. He even threw my baby's things at me. I packed and went home. I received the best support ever. My family, both nuclear and extended were amazing and supportive. Without any exception, they all stood by me. Then he called, and started to beg after a few days as usual. I didn't bulge. He then started to threaten. Gave me 72 hours to return, then the next day. Then I had to return that day. Kept buzzing my phone with calls. Came to my house but my family prevented him from coming into the house or near us. He said the marriage was over and I could keep the baby, he wanted nothing to do with us. No money, no job, no upkeep from him. Nothing!


I accepted to end the marriage and have custody of my baby, no argument. I was tired, I was exhausted. Finally I had peace, yet I felt so empty. I could now go one week without any drama or fight? Really?! Then 2 weeks and then a month and I could feel I was gradually falling into depression. I had become so accustomed to trouble I began to have panic attacks. A door jams, and I would jump. I'm asleep and you walk into my room, I'll jump startled from my sleep. There was no passion left in me, no excitement. Nothing. 


My family and friends wept for me. I was a shadow of my former self. Anyway, I started to pray. My parents prayed along with me. O, how I prayed and fasted. I would pray till I couldn't even find the words to pray. I would begin to cry. Then I started to have 2 same reoccurring dreams. I would dream that it was Friday, and I rushed to the mosque to observe jumat. Suddenly, I would realize that my hijab is too short for praying and I have to take it off and wear a longer one to cover me properly. The second dream always had me reciting Surah Ad-Duhaa in a very sonorous voice and people will sit close by to listen. 

The first dream was interpreted to mean my marriage. For in Quran 2:187 Allah says : your spouse are your garment and you are theirs. It means your spouse are for support, comfort, protection, fitting into each other etc. Obviously, there was something wrong with mine that was why I didn't feel covered and always had to change it before praying. And Surah Duhaa was revealed to the prophet (pbuh) during one of the most trying times of his life. It was Allah's message to him that he is aware of all his sufferings and the future is indeed better than the present. This was one of the toughest times in my life.

Life gradually returned to normal. My baby grew older and I picked up my certificate and began to search for jobs. I also started applying to schools for my masters. Within 3 months, I got a good job. Life was surely looking up. Along the line, I received feed-backs from my applications. I had won both a partial and a full scholarship from 2 top universities abroad for my masters. Off course I accepted the offer with the full scholarship (winks). My masters year was great. Gave me the freedom and break I needed but also the money and exposure that came with it. I got the opportunity to go on all expense paid trips to 4 different countries. I made new friends, found myself and worked a lot on self-development (both career wise and in my personal life). I returned home after my masters, and in less than 2 months I landed 2 great jobs.


 On the day I picked up my offer letter from one, was the same day the other called to offer me the second job. The pay was in the same range so I chose the one I felt had a better opportunity for growth. Less, than a month after I started my new job, I was called for another. I had to turn it down. Do I have all that I want in life, hell no! But I am definitely a happy person and proud of the woman I am today.  

It's been 3 years since it all happened. I have my beautiful baby and things keep getting better. I will be turning 28 later in the year but I feel I have lived and experienced so much more than many ladies my age. I look even more beautiful than before and you will never guess I have a baby if I don't tell you myself. I am under no pressure to remarry and have chosen to live my life one day at a time. Would I rewrite my story again if I had the chance? My answer is no! Alhamdulillah, for the good, the bad and everything in between.

In all, I have felt pain, I have endured hardship, I have memories I want to forget. However, these things have made me stronger and today, I face the world with a smile because I know things will always get better and those who love me will always be there for me. 


N/B 

This is a real story although I really had to summarize it so it doesn't become as long as the lady who was tricked into marriage. Trust me, I can relate with her story. I am using my original email address to send this. Please keep my details private. 




Sweetie thank God that you walked out when you and picked up the pieces of your life.I hope this story encourages someone who has given up on their life because they walked out of an abusive situation.

      Anon 15:20. I'm so sorry. I'm sure there are people to help if u make the right connections. Whether they are rich, influential or not, you'll still meet with justice if u pursue it the right way. If you are in lagos take a trip to Alausa and ask for the children welfare and social services department, or whatever else the ministry is called. Tender your case and you'll find one to put u through at no costs to yourself. Good luck.

      At poster, glad you are stable now. Couldn't but notice how well you write. You sound an intelligent woman and the sky will be your starting point.

  9. The bible did not say 'thou must marry'. If ur marraige is abusive, get out fast. Don't wait until u are killed. Couples in abusive relationship raise violent children who grow up and continue the cycle of domestic violence. Women, for the sake of ur children's sanity, run from an abusive marraige. It is not worth it. Men who are abusive are not sane. The not wired correctly upstairs. Marraige is btn 2 sane people and not btn a monster and a sane woman. Be wise and courageous. Stop,bothering abt having the stigma of a divorcee. Stop bothering abt wat the world will say. It's one life. No duplicate.

Just like you would tolerate a mans flaw, he should do same for you. There is no excuse for a man to hit his wife, does he hit his mother or boss when they annoy him..no. So my dear look out for a man with a good head on his shoulder and a true fear of God. Make sure you have the same.

    1. Even an identity thief as yourself feels the need to advice? C'mon now get off the substandard ship u are rocking. This tells us how u incomplete ur life must be, as u can't even create a REAL identity of ur own but would taster steal someone else'. Shame on u.

  41. Stella if this lady did not talk of a Nikkah, I would have said someone sent in my story, plus and minus some issues. Ladies if you feel reservation about a man, DO NOT MARRY HIM. Same goes to you guys, do not marry a woman you bave reservations about. Thank God for this lady

  42. This brought tears to my eyes..
    I seem to be shading alot of tears
    You are a strong woman for leaving hoarder sorry as behind and proving to him that you could do well without him. Please take care of your child. Do not be in a rush to go into another marriage.

    Follow your instincts.. From the start, you never wanted all these, you instinct warned you but then the mistake has been made

    Once there is life, there is hope

  43. This is what I call "Chronicles of hope".
    I'm happy for you poster.
    I must commend your family for being supportive.
    God will bless them for standing by you through your trying time.

    There is nothing like having your family and loved ones stand by your instead of cast you away to die in marriage because they want to save face.

    I hope your story will encourage someone to do the right thing.
    May God continue to bless and protect you.

  49. Funny world, no wonder people around me always told me that "what happened to u has happened somewhere b4 even worse, u are neither the first nor last" wow!!! Had similar if not same experience. If not that she's Muslim, I would say someone put my story here. But thank God for his mercies and grace upon my life. I got my groove back. #happysinglemom. In my case, I didn't go for masters o! Lol.... my sponsor turned me down last minute plus my family refused to take baby. #sad. but it made me strong. Cos what dosent kill u makes me stronger. So I went to a fashion school since I have great passion for sewing. And in 3months I was cutting and sewing already. Now I'm a designer plus I have a fed govt job. I'm now happy. Relocated to abuja whr I now live alone with my beautiful daughter and househelp far away from home.

    2. God bless you. My story was very similar. Mine was a case of emotional abuse, tricked, and he called it off. God sees the heart of everyone. I couldn't even hurt da fly , all I did wrong was love this man. I shared all I had with him without complaining , how Can a man be so heartless.
      I thank God my Mum is looking after her in my absence while I'm away doing a master's in the UK . Will be done in September , miss my baby. And family a lot.

  51. I'm happy you are fine now poster. God's blessing are on you always. Just wonder why some men are wicked or choose to be wicked. One day, they are all loving and nice n the next they become devil's incarnates. God have mercy.
