Illustrative image“It took thirteen years to understand that what happened every night had a name. Until then, I thought I was a bad wife because I could not keep peace at home.”
Illustrative image“The first thing I did was leave my ID and the children’s birth certificates at my sister’s house. Six months later, when I had to leave, that one step made everything possible.”
Illustrative image“Nobody had hit me. I just was not allowed to leave home without him, spend my own salary or speak to my mother alone. A psychologist told me this was abuse too, and I cried for hours.”
Illustrative image“I went back twice. The third time I left, I stopped blaming myself. I had understood that going back could be part of the journey, not a failure.”
