My ex-husband used to kick me, too jealous that other men looked at me. When I threatened to call the police and the neighbours came knocking because I was screaming too loudly, he changed tactics and began a campaign of emotional abuse that lasted 20 years.

​

He destroyed me, as well as our children, who became addicted to drugs. He would hit our eldest child when I refused intimacy. He raped me during our marriage and after our separation. He threatened to kill me constantly. The police asked me for witnesses… Who? I was alone with him.
