After graduating from the institute I got married and went to live in another city. I married Robert who was a very good programmer. I had three children with my husband. We traveled around the country a lot. I didn’t work a single day, because I took care of the house and children. Robert provided for us well. I was happy with my life, but at the same time I was constantly worried about something.
Then one day my parents came to visit me. My father told me that my life was wrong, that it was wrong to live like this. And I thought about my father’s words and realized that he was right. I was only taking care of my husband and children. I had to constantly ask my husband for money, he forbade me to have girlfriends. And my husband also forbade me to get a job. He even forbade me to have any hobbies.
After talking to my father, I started collecting money. I saved on everything and even sold some of my things. That’s how I slowly started getting ready to run away. So three years ago I took my husband and the kids on a vacation to Italy. And there, one day, when my husband was asleep, I took the kids and drove to the other end of town. There I went to the police station. I told them what was going on in my family and they helped me. They told me that my husband was abusing me psychologically.
I was referred to a help center for such women. After that I started a new life. After a while I moved to the other side of the country with my children. I studied and worked a lot. And then a year ago I opened my own beauty salon at the seaside. I’m doing great! I’m very happy that I found the strength to change my life. Now I live my life the way I want and I don’t ask anyone for money. I can afford anything I want.
