The rate at which men are assaulting and murdering their girlfriends and wives, makes me wonder if there is a new mental illness yet to be named or recognised by the medical body.
About 11 hours ago a young lady on instagram named Gabrielle and with the handle @bambiiiii shared a photo of her battered body. The evil act was carried out on her by her boyfriend of 8 months a man who is supposed to love and protect her.
She wrote this beneath the photo.
"This might be a little graphic but I just want to let everyone know that I am okay. I am a survivor of domestic violence with a boy I dated for 8 months. I really thought everything was fine but he constantly questioned me about cheating and flirting. Nonsense. I never looked at someone the way he looked at me. Thought I loved this boy. How can someone that 'loves' me do this to me? The scars on my chest are way worse and extend down to my right nipple, completely scarred. The skin on my shoulder has been completely skinned. And I have bruising on my rib cage, neck, and my muscles. I was kicked out of a moving vehicle, then beaten and dragged, as I blacked out and was left lying there in my own puddle of blood. Doctors said I could have died if not made it when I did. I am so blessed and beyond lucky to be alive and have so much support from friends, family, and strangers. As I try to recover I ask to please keep me in your prayers. I have to wear a neck brace for 3-4 weeks, an arm cast and I can barely walk for now. Thank you for all the love. I hope to be an inspiration to women and anyone involved in domestic violence".
Here are a few photos of Gabrielle before the assault.
Thank God she is a alive to tell her story. Ladies please shine your eyes when it comes to dating and marriage. Please run at the first sign of domestic violence because you might have a bitter tale to tell or not be alive to tell your story.
Have mercy on us Lord Jesus.
