Recalling her life as a child and as a married woman, facing domestic violence in both we have a story of Adia, who shares how the incidents in her life made her choose what's better.
If a parent or anybody in your life is abusive, they NEED to have a change in behaviour and most importantly a change of heart. Because otherwise, the cycle of abuse continues, and that is exactly what kept on happening at her parents’ home when she was young and later at her own home when she got married. Adia’s husband and the fights between her parents had similar features. They involved threatening behaviour where dominance was used to humiliate and hurt. Domestic violence is developed when it becomes a behaviour and it is rooted in power and control. Because she had seen these patterns of abuse with her parents, she recognised them and with a heavy heart, decided to leave.
