FLEE 3

Marriage 3
My husband didn't listen to me; he ripped off my clothes in the presence of my kids, he cuffed my hands, poured pepper into my eyes, he flogged me mercilessly and when my kids tried to interfere he beats them too and worse of it all, he raped me in the presence of my kids.

Brethren, as sacrilegious as it is, my darling husband showed no remorse, it is a very shameful thing that my children, his children saw me naked.
They witnessed the rape scene.
I couldn't bear it, but I continued hoping on the Lord. I mean, what will the people who saw my marriage as be perfect say?? What will people whom I helped restore their marriage say?? I am a preacher of peace and not war.
A preacher of unity And not division.
Brethren, I did not tell anyone about this because it abominable and it might dent he church ( that was what I thought).
It's been three weeks since then and I can start things has not been thesame in my household especially with my oldest son.
He doesn't even look me in the eyes and he tries his best to avoid me and I sink in despair. I won't blame him .

This afternoon, I working but I noticed that the office seemed to be in disarray, everyone was walking Helter skelter which is very unusual. I shoved be it off but my best friend ran into my office panting.
She asked if I have seen the trending video and I said no.
Then, she showed me the video.
It was a video of my oldest son junior and beside him is a body of man in cuffs, and he was stabbed in four different places; his eyes, his chest, his stomach and his groin and the man was no other person but his father.

My body began shaking,
I was going to pass out when he started talking. I don't know how but I regained strength to listen to his speech and he said
''If you are seeing this video that means am gone, but I can't help it .. This is my father or still the monster, I have been living with in form of a father.
I can no longer bear to see him causing my beloved mother so much pain, my mom has been nothing but a good wife to him but he doesn't seem to appreciate her. He has done many things to her but making me see my mom naked is something I can't seem to forget.
Raping my mom in the presence of my siblings and I is something I can't forget , I mean I will live with this trauma for life and can't help but blame myself. If I hadn't reported my dad to the pastor, he wouldn't have brutalized her like that.
Since then, I couldn't help but look for a way to end this misery.
Marriage was supposed to be a peaceful, happy and lovable union.
No man or woman deserves to be killed because of marriage.
Am scared that one day, he will kill my mother and I don't want that.
My mom deserves better.
My younger siblings deserves better
And today, I chose to pull the bull by its horn.
If marriage is all about this , then am sorry I don't want to be like my father, I do not want to treat somebody's daughter the way my dad treated my mom.
This may not be the best decision but I love you mom and I wish you you and my siblings gets the best in life. I love you too Dad but my mom deserves better.
Don't worry much about me but pray for me because I Know that am going to hell for this.""
Like a horse, I ran from my office to my house but was met with the dead bodies of my husband and my son.
My world shattered, I don't know where to start from.
I lost my husband and my son because I refused to Leave an abusive home when I had the chance to.
Brethren if I had left my marriage , perhaps, my son and abusive husband might still be alive.
