I am thankful to my mother who stood by me through thick and thin, most importantly I am thankful to the man whose heartless actions towards me motivates me to become who I am today.

I am very thankful to my ever supporting mother, my strength and my everything. My mother stood by me when almost everyone was against me when I got married 2011. For some reason my family never like the man I got married to, even my mum never liked him. But because she is my mother, she stood by me through thick and thin. Sometimes she cried and prayed throughout the night for my sake, even when the marriage never worked she was still there for me. I will forever be grateful for her unending love. Secondly, I am thankful to the man I got married to, whose heartless and inhumane attitude towards me shaped and motivated me to be who I am today. He physically and verbally abused me, he keeps telling me how I will end my life wretched, he keeps calling me a poorper, he keep feeling as if wealth and riches start and end with him. I took every insults, I endured every pain and hardship. Knowing fully well that I can only endure this for a while. When I could not endure anymore, I seek for a divorce. He took me to court , he used money and connection to forcefully take my only 2 years + daughter from me. People laughed and gossip about me, but I had to stay strong. I decided to change my life for the better, i got motivated I worked hard. Today I am doing well, I owned my business and I am supporting victims of domestic violence, I am fighting for the right of women and children in my community. This 2 people I will forever be grateful to.
