Divorced Daughter is than a Dead Daughter!
This tragic incident of domestic violence ending in murder is another heartbreaking reminder that we must take abuse seriously.
In too many traditional societies, divorce is still stigmatized, and women are often blamed regardless of how much abuse or mistreatment they have endured. In some cultures, daughters have been told that once they leave their parents’ home, they should never return—even if they are suffering. Such attitudes have trapped countless victims in dangerous relationships while allowing many abusers to escape accountability.
My belief is simple: A divorced daughter is better than a dead daughter.
When someone is capable of murdering their partner, it’s reasonable to ask whether there may have been earlier warning signs of abuse or escalating violence. Too often, victims hold on to the hope that tomorrow will be better.
Never let society’s judgment determine your safety. The same people who criticize or ostracize you are unlikely to protect you or bear the consequences of your suffering. If a relationship becomes abusive or dangerous, draw the line. Your life, dignity, and safety must always come first.
My thoughts and prayers are with this young woman’s family and her child. 🙏
I, too, am a survivor. A coma wasn’t enough. Fractures weren’t enough. Concussions weren’t enough. Abuse only escalates when it goes unchecked. If sharing helps even a one person choose safety, then it’s worth telling.
