Things went sour! She started enduring domestic violence, abuse, infidelity and maltreatment from her In-laws.

She got married in the most painful way anyone can think of. She ended up managing her situation just to have a happy home. Her husband whom she met as a "growing man" and gave him her support. She watched him grow from self contain room, to 1 bedroom to 3bedrooms  flat and finally to their own duplex. She watched him grow from a mere boat rider to a captain of a ship. I watched  him grow from  legged Benz to Taxi, to Honda Bullet to Toyota highlander and to Benz C class. She watched her used to be poor husband turn into a multi millionaire.  

Unfortunately, things went sour! She started enduring domestic violence, abuse, infidelity  and maltreatment from her in laws.  She hid her tribulation from her family because she didn't want them worried. She also was scared of the society  mocking her for having a failed marriage. She prayed, she fasted, she did vigils, she did the midnight heart to heart talk with her husband just to find out what went wrong but it got worse. She endured domestic violence both from the beatings with the use of belt to insults and body shaming, use of boiling ring, she even gets woken up at 1am to cook for him, she has slept one day and woke up by the bucket of water poured on her and the worst of it all, she gave birth via CS and was beaten for not taking her sister in laws calls which resulted to her surgery site tearing open and she went into the theatre for another stitching. She has all the scars showing her survival.  

And the last straw was when she experienced a fatal abuse which landed her in Coma. But as a fighter she fought it and survived Coma. That was the end of her marriage. She ran to her parent's house with her beautiful kids. She left when the 1st child was 3years and the twins were barely 10months old. Her parents took her kids from her and asked her to go and finish school which she did, she went for NYSC and started life afresh doing every legit job she could this of just to raise money.  She saw hell. She suffered. She entered into dangerous depression and became suicidal.  She even started presenting her kids and living a life of regret. She almost became mentally unstable but it took a pastor and her mother to save her.

How? They introduced the power of forgiveness. She tried her best to forgive her ex husband and his family . It wasn't easy but she did it .She decided to focus on her future and her kid's future. Life started falling into place.  She was hustling different businesses and finally, became a school director and a caterer. 

2019 her ex husband family called her for reconciliation but she made them understand that she has forgiven them and bears no grudges but reconciliation is never possible. It's not easy. I wont lie lie to you, being a single mother doing everything is not easy but peace of mind and happiness makes me not to feel anything.  If I can survive it, you can.
