Ja'kara Falmore, a married American woman who is a victim of domestic violence has in a Facebook post warned ladies about ignoring early signs in a relationship.
She has been married less than a year yet her husband has turned her into his favourite punching bag, and with her post she hopes to reach out to those in a similar situation.

'I decided to snap a pic of my face today... Not for sympathy because I don't need it! As ugly as I may feel right now, I know that the feeling is only temporary and after having a few conversations with my family and friends I was forced to remember who and whose I AM!!! The beauty in my face was altered but NOT in my heart!!! Yes I am still angry because the man that I trusted with my life and my heart was determined to KILL ME!!! My spirit and heart was BROKEN but the more that I think about it the more that I feel led to share my story! I will be married for a year on the 28th of this month and the man that I chose to spend the rest of my life with was not who I thought he was! Do I love him? Absolutely and because I love him I was blinded by the signs that he had already given me! When someone shows you who they are BELIEVE them! I wanted to see the good in him, I wanted to help him shake whatever it was that had a hold on his mind but a person has to first want that for themselves! As hard as it is I have to forgive that man regardless of what he did to me! I refuse to allow this situation to hinder my growth and all the blessings that are in store for me! I trust that God will get me THROUGH this situation and I will come out on top!
I AM AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE and NO one should EVER have to go through what I went through! If you are in an abusive relationship GET OUT OF IT... Trust GOD!!! And #LIVE'.

Too bad for a husband to raise his hand upon his wife,even if you can't tolerate her,why not let go than beating her,what of if she dies in that beating? Men be very careful,enough of this rubbish,if you must beat,go outside&look for your male paterner.For me any man that slaps talk more of beating me,I will kill him&go to jail.Nonsense.
