I’ll never tell you that I have it all figured out.
In fact, most of the time, I’m flying by the seat of my pants just trying to survive my day.
Sure, I have those glorious moments tucked in between the storms when I feel like I can conquer the world,
But those victories are fleeting.
There was a time when every little thing that went wrong tore me into pieces and each defeat shattered me and my confidence.
Not anymore.
I’ve realized that if one door closes, there’s another one waiting for me and chances are, it is better.
No more “why me” and being a victim..
I’m changing the game and seizing my chance to become a victor.
If it’s to be, it’s up to me,
And I’ll never be able to do that if I’m wallowing in all the things that have gone wrong.
I’m turning the page and starting a new chapter.
You know, the one where the damsel in distress stops looking to be saved and start saving herself…
Yeah, that’s the one.
Where the damsel realizes that she was a queen all along and stops complaining and starts fighting back..
And begins to become the force she was always capable of being.
So, I guess that’s my version of the fairy tale.
I stopped holding out for a hero and became the heroine of my own story.
I raised my expectations, stopped settling and started kicking ass.
I think I’ll call this chapter simply..
“Winning.”

My story as a survivor in a nutshell. I hope this offers someone, anyone hope to carry on no matter what.

2013 - The emotional abuse started.
2014 - The physical abuse, gaslighting and mental abuse began.
2015 - The abuse escalated and the attacks became more frequent, I thought I was losing my mind. I tried to leave several times.
I also lost my job due to the abuse, I was not showing up for work, I was not working efficiently and I was exhausted.
I tried to find other employment but I was broken and lost faith in my abilities.
At this point, I was not only dealing with my abuser but all the people he enabled to perpetrate more abuse against me. He effectively turned them against me by sharing intimate information about me and by manufacturing 99% lies. He also told people I was part of financial scams. What I really was doing was selling my own goods to survive.
The people around me thought I was doing this to myself because I wanted attention. This continued for years and stopped in 2020 when I started enforcing my rights legally.
I turned to substances. Drugs helped me cope. It brought me up and the drinking levelled me out. By 2016 I was a full blown coc@in addict. It helped, I won’t lie. (I don’t recommend this to anyone, so please don’t use this as an option to kill the pain)
I knew it was wrong but it was the only thing to stop the depression and the constant crying.
I also figured it may just be the way out because I cursed the existence of a new day. Waking up for me, was like reliving the nightmare daily.
2016 (Feb) - I finally escaped but the cyberstalking, harassment and bullying only just began.
2016 (June) - I found the website he authored about me which included revenge p**n. I did not deal with this well and struggled mentally and emotionally. It destroyed me.
2018 (Dec) - I fled my city to escape the abuse, stalking, harassment and intimidation.
I tried to open several police cases. Law enforcement had no idea help to help me.
2017-2019 - was the worst 3 years of my life. I lost friends, family, my children, my dog, accommodation, my car, my credit record, my self worth, my courage and my strength. I wanted to die. I would beg God everyday to let me die.
2020 (March) - I decided enough was enough and I picked myself up with the help of my current husband and decided to fight back and begin healing.
I stopped all substances. I did not go to a rehab centre and I didn’t follow the 12 step program. I decided it was over. I made the choice. I still had substances with me during lock down but it was there so I didn’t “crave” and go buy more. 8 months later I flushed it down the toilet without using a drop.
2020 (May) I opened criminal charges against my abusers.
2020 (Nov) I opened the RISE organisation, got my children back, found my purpose, continued my healing journey, and began to feel that I had a chance in this world again.
2021 - I became stronger and more confident. I still didn’t leave the house though.
2022 - I made my first friend since 2013. I trust her. She is my bestie.
2022 - I signed up for a family mediation course and doing well. I am a divorce and family mediator but still need to be accredited.
I am strong, I am confident, I am still healing, I am slowly regaining trust in humanity but i still have bad days. I still don’t leave the house and I am still terrified of people.
I am still awaiting a decision to prosecute from the NPA regarding the cases opened against the perpetrators. I will not give up, even if it’s declined. We have options.

Lastly, I would not have made my way though this cess pool of chaos and abuse without my husband and my newly established support structure through RISE. The people I have built relationships with on this journey have been nothing less than phenomenal. Thank you for your continued support, your validation and your help to get through the hardest time of my life. I am so grateful to all of you.

I will continue to try, continue to heal and continue to be of service to victims and survivors. This is my life purpose!

You can do this. It’s difficult, but don’t give up even when you feel you can’t anymore.

We all deserve a second chance at life. ♥️

Her path was never easy and the load never light..
But she had made herself strong in the fires of life.
She had been burned time and again- by love, by life, by the very things and people she held dear.
She didn’t let that dissuade her or bring her down, for she had grown stronger with every failure and braver with every triumph.
When those who admired her asked her why she chose the tougher path,
She’d smile fiercely and ask them,
“What makes you think I saw two paths?”
Her story was a tale of anguish and angst, driven by the pains of disappointment and hurt of bad choices..
But she stood courageously through the storms and even mustered the ability to dance through them a time or two.
And when the night came and silence called forth the demons that had once tried to cover her soul in darkness…
She just kept reaching for the light like the warrior she was…
And slowly, one by one, conquered the voices, the demons and the doubt that had troubled her so often before.
Not with ease or quickness..
But with determination, persistence and force of will.
Most would admire her as a strong woman, though they would never know the price she paid for her ferocity and independence..
A sacrifice of the deepest pain and the most penetrating brokenness.
It was born out of emotional wreckage, sheer will to rise again and the choice to never stay down.
The world thought she was born strong.
She knew she had paid the price and fought through the fire to grow into the person she had become..
And most people would never understand her journey- and they didn’t have to-
She loved and lived by her own choices, and the world never needed to know or approve.
Over time, her claws transformed into wings as she began to survive less and fly more.
Those places she’d been and the scars that told her story?
She wore them with pride and she poured all of her heartbreak and pain into those newly found beautiful wings.
She was meant for more and she wouldn’t stop until she found where she was going, where she was meant to be.
Throughout it all,
She never forgot who she was and where she had come from..every crack, every scar, every broken piece just fueled her rise.
And like the Phoenix,
She would always rise again.
A woman on fire with the courage and passion to burn brightly and never dim..
She was the most brilliant of lights…and she didn’t need a spotlight, she shined from within.
