As my husband gave me a bunch of tulips, my heart sank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Thank you, they\u2019re lovely,\u2019 I said, forcing a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without missing a day, Mick* brought her flowers every Friday, 52 weeks a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It should\u2019ve made her special, you may think, but it creeped her out the rest of the days in the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He would get jealous over the smallest of things. She was controlled and desperately unhappy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When both of their sons were born, things got worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was so convinced that she was cheating, he put sticky tape across the front and the back door and checked every morning to see if it was broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only thing that hurt most was calling her a bad mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boys deserve better, she thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Mick, the husband, controlled the finances and she had nowhere to go with empty pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One day she was sitting with the boys on the sofa and Mick hurled insults at her. Suddenly he grabbed the camera took a photo of them, and told her it is the last night she\u2019ll be alive so the boys had memory of her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he took the picture, he grabbed her, but her screams in terror made him stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he took off for work the next morning, she left with the boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the midst of chaos in her mind, she searched for a house to rent. Tim had severe autism so no shelter would take them in, making this the only option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She withdrew some money from their account to pay for bond and a week\u2019s rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They quickly took the removal van, packed up and left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How on earth is she going to raise two boys with no money and no job? But as soon as she step foot in the new house a weight lifted off her shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time passed, and Mick wasn\u2019t harming her anymore, but what happened in that house was terrible to witness, especially for the young boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She always showed them how much she loved them and made sure they didn\u2019t become angry like their father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Kind is the most important thing you can be,\u2019 she\u2019d say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is so proud that both grew into amazing and happy gentlemen. Sam is now 30 and a swim coach who trialled for the Olympics and Tim, 32, is a successful artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has a wonderful life with a job she loves and a home with a garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wanted to share her story and let the abused ones know that they\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, on the anniversary of their escape, she posts some story on Facebook. The boys are so proud they\u2019re helping other survivors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few years ago she found the haunting photo Mick took and decided to share it with everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was tough to see the look on their faces, but she wants women to know that domestic violence is NEVER acceptable. No child deserves to grow in that horrible environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wants to let people know that there\u2019s a light on the other side of the tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Mick\u2019s name has been changed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
