Popular Nigerian author Betty Irabor has taken to her Instagram account to write an open letter to women in abusive relationships.
“Do not allow third parties talk you into staying when you alone know the dangers ahead,” she wrote in part.
This message from Betty is related to the allegations of domestic violence against Channels Tv reporter Pius Angbo by his wife, Ifeanyinwa.
Ifeanyinwa accused her husband, Channels Tv reporter Pius Angbo, of battery in a viral video. In the viral video, she showed her battered face as proof.
A few hours later, the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, reconciled the the couple.
Reacting to this, Betty has penned an open letter to women in abusive relationships. She wrote, “Dear women in abusive relationships….
1. Marriage is not a Do or Die affair, especially when you’re the one who is likely to DIE from abuse or end up in psychiatric home as a living dead.
2. FOR BETTER FOR WORSE doesn’t mean you should romanticize suffer head especially when you’re being used as a beast of burden or punch bag which triggers mental and psychological trauma.
3. “Till death do us part” does not mean that you stay on till you die and are carried out in a coffin because you are staying for your children and because”GOD hates divorce.” Is it God’s will for you to be brutalised and sent to a premature death without fulfilling His purpose in your life?
4. “In sickness and in health”…doesn’t mean you should stay married to a sicko (psycho). Protect you own health.
5. Do not allow third parties talk you into staying when you alone know the danger ahead. Leave while your legs can carry you…
6. You’re by far better off alone & alive to tend your children than leave them for a step mother or family whose love interest MAY not include your children…
