“Me life living in fear, I know he brutal and he would kill me. He telling me he would kill me. He tell me the other day ‘you need to be dead’ and me meself feel like I want end me life because I living in fear, because I know he would do it. He would kill me.”
These are the words of a 44-year-old mother of two who said her ex-lover has been tormenting her ever since he was released from prison following a not-guilty murder verdict in 2019.
The woman’s story is as complicated as it gets, but after over an hour conversation with her it was obvious that she was a broken woman living in fear and in need of psychological and other help. While she did not ask for her story to be carried anonymously, I chose to do so because of the many dynamics of her life’s journey. I believe that exposing her may very well put her up for public ridicule.
