Breaking the Chains of Domestic Violence

About the Book

I have decided to put a closure to something that haunted me for a long time by writing this book. I grew up in a domestically violent home, and I got married into another domestically violent home. This has affected me and my children, and I have decided to break the chains of abuse forever. The damage caused by domestic violence cannot be repaired, but I do have control over what is going to come into my life in the future. This book talks about my childhood and domestic violence and my marriage and abuse that caused me to have low self-esteem. In this book, I also talk about how I found myself going through depression because of bottling things up and how I managed to overcome that depression. It takes you to set yourself free from abuse.

About the Author

After going through many years of domestic violence, Dr. Linda Munjoma decided to get up, regain her self-esteem, and move on. I want to encourage someone to get out of that abusive marriage or relationship before it drains you until you sink into a depression. Sometimes, we struggle to get out of an abusive marriage, and we tend to hang in there while we suffer inside. We also try to protect the perpetrator by hiding the whole abuse from our families and friends. For some reason, women ignore the red flags of abuse, hoping that things will get better with time. There is a saying that goes “Once beaten, twice shy.” If you are a victim of domestic violence, get out now because there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Please do not wait until something big happens—you live once, and you deserve better. Our God is a god of second chances; do not wait until the abuse gets the best of you. I made the right decision, and I do not regret it.
