Nigerian actress Victoria Inyama is a survivor of domestic violence and an abusive marriage. The actor keeps using her social media platform to encourage other individuals not to fall a victim.
In a video she shared, Victoria says abuse is about power, stating that the abuser doesn’t want to let his victim go, like a master and slave relationship.
Inyama was formerly married to Godwin Okri and have three children together, but the marriage hit rock bottom due to abuse.
Read her post here:
ABUSE IS ABOUT POWER & CONTROL……
D abuser gets angry when his control & intimidations are no longer effective on the spouse
Getting a divorce from an Abusive spouse is a heroic feat as they never want to let go of their victim/spouse…..
They use all sorts of excuses…..Some say it’s against their Principle but prefer to use threats, bullying & intimidations or worse still, the abuser sees the kids as entitlement & would use them to play the manipulative card..I pray anyone in a dark place to plsssss be strengthend …. The Abuser never wants to let go
