FOR THOSE WITH CHILDRE
I know how tough it is to leave our children in the hands of an abuser. It is a very tough decision,
especially when we don't have a means of fnancial survival.
In my case, I endured the violence because I wanted his children to grow and become independent.
What if I had lost my life in that process? Won't they move on? Won't they survive?
PI lost my mum at the age of 19, but my life did not end thereafer. I survived and I’m stll surviving,
thankfully.
You can survive with them. Please take them and run But do not poison their minds against your
partner (remember he/she is and will always be their father/mother, no mater what transpired in the
relatonship) It's only a mater of tme before they grow up, become adults and appreciate the sacrifce
you made for them. You will survive it.
Undoubtedly, my journey of surviving was made easy because I had no child in that marriage and I
understand how hard it would’ve been if I had a child(ren). They might have slowed down my journey
of survival.
Some of our young men and women are in the prison today because they murdered their partner in self
defence. If only they had walked away... The children we are preventng from sufering by staying with
the abusive partner, will end up being taken care of by a stranger(s) because they won't go to prison
with you.
You are O YOUR OW (OYO). Oyo lo wa o. So why labour in vain?
