After all these years, I can only be grateful for what a lucky escape I had.  I live in my dream apartment, with a great career in progress and surrounded with love and positivity.

I think back to where I was 7 years ago and what my future could have been – stuck with a selfish, abusive man and part of a classless family. I am sure I would have ended up sacrifing to fulfil his endless need for admiration and the limelight and despite this, being made to feel insufficient, incompetent and frankly undermining my entire sense of self worth.

How lucky I am to have escaped that awful situation, had the opportunity to rebuild myself and live the life that I am currently living.

Thank you for opening my eyes and saving me from making the biggest mistake of my life.

Alhamdolillah.
