Whenever we were on holidays from school, he would call me and my siblings, ask us what kind of business we would like to do during this holiday? We would all say what we’d like to do, he would give us the capital to start our small businesses (we didn’t recognize that he was raising us to become independent). At the end of the holidays, before we headed back to school, he would ask us to bring the money we made from the sales, He will remove his capital and give us our proft. We would then use our proft to buy new sets of school uniforms, books and everything we needed to go back to school with. That was how I learned how to do business and that experience guided me this far in my journey of fnding my independence afer escaping an abusive marriage. ACTIVISM I became an actvist, advocatng for peace and encouraging those who want out of abusive relatonships/marriages to move on. You cannot change a grown man, except he’s willing and working towards the change. Stop hoping he will change, a leopard cannot change its spots, neither can a tger change its stripes. If the relatonship/marriage no longer works for you both, please separate, take a moment to refect on yourself and clearly see where the problem is coming from. Separaton works for some to refect and see if things will work out. When it gets to the point where one person (or both) start carrying weapons for self defence, there is a tendency for murder.
