Their first 10 years in matrimony was very blissful. Marriage was kind to them and the years had brought them immeasurable grace in their home. Rebecca and John were truly in love. They were blessed with their first child (Talisha). She was very beautiful and charming. After a while, they were blessed with their second born child (Collins). At this time, things were no longer the same. John had started sleeping outside. He could come home after a week. When Rebecca asked him what was going on, he could bit her mercilessly.
It came a time, John was coming home with other women. He could tell his wife to cook for them all. Then after eating and harassing the wife, they could go to the bedroom and start enjoying themselve when Rebecca is there sobbing.
John continued being brutal. He could take his daughter Talishia , bit her, rape her and then tell her not to tell anyone what was going on. This continues for three years
One day, Rebacca was stabbed with a knife on her hand. She escaped with her children. On her way she was deep in thoughts. She was asking herself; " How many times can the same person break me. How many times can the same person let me down. How will I heal without having some kind of mental break down, there must come a moment where everything just connects. Now I realize my value and my worth. It is not worth to love someone and not to be loved in return. It is not worth to be mistreated. No one will ever play with my heart again. This is the end of that toxic relationship.
