''Someone asked me how abusive my ex-husband was. I tried to describe it, but words failed me.

And mind you, I’m only trying to describe the physical abuse.
The closest thing to it is a village bully who is stronger than everyone.
He waits for his victim to step out of their house, then picks on you for no reason.
He slaps you, pushes you, beats you up just because he can.
My ex-husband hated everything about me. 
The way I talked annoyed him, the way I laughed annoyed him. In fact, my very existence annoyed him.
He wanted me to disappear from the face of the earth.
I was always baffled by this because growing up in the village, I got along with almost everyone.
In boarding school, I got along with everyone.
I never had problems associating with people.
So I found it really odd that he disliked me that much.
He would hit me any chance he got.
He hit me for “insulting him in my mind”  just because I would keep quiet when he went on his sometimes 5-hour-long rants over absolutely nothing.
He beat me to the point that if he went a whole week without beating me it would feel like something was missing.I got used to it .
Most times, when he wanted to hit me, I would run away so devised an infallible method.
He would wait until I was in the kitchen doing dishes, then he would block me.
I couldn't escape.
I remember how he would choke me from behind and hit my head against the cupboard in front of me.
Till today, whenever I have a panic attack, that is the exact image that replays in my mind.
Even sitting in the living room with him was dangerous.
He would throw anything around him at me when he got angry.
One day, I was sitting with my youngest son (the one he used to love), and he got angry and threw a glass cup at me.
I lifted my baby up, and the cup hit him.
He was shocked and angry.
He said I was a bad mother for using my son to block the cup 
But he saw me carrying a baby and still threw the glass cup at me.
I simply told him, “I am somebody’s child too. The way you are upset that the cup you threw touched your son, my own parents would be upset too if they found out you throw things at me.”
After that, he stopped throwing things at me whenever I was carrying my son.
When the marriage ended whenever he sent people to beg me I would tell them he hit me like everyday.
For some reason that annoyed him so much because he said he was holding back that if he had hit me very well I wouldn't have survived it.
He recently said the same thing to my youngest son last year when they were fighting and my son called him a woman beater. His response was "if I hit her well she would have died.
Leave while you are still breathing''.
