💔 Fallen Love 💔

Writer's picture: Tj JonesTj Jones

Here are the answers to your questions about my experience with domestic, deceptive behavior & extreme trauma abuse:

Q) How did you meet him?

A) I met my ex-husband at a church in Pensacola, Florida.

Q ) What attracted you to him?

A) What initially attracted me to him was his apparent love for God and how he interacted with my sons when we first met at church.

Q) What made you marry him?

We had good communication, he treated my sons well initially, showered me with gifts, and showed me love like no other man had before. 

I also believed he had a strong faith in God.

Q) When did the abusive behavior begin?

A) The abuse started a year into our marriage, after he got into an accident with his godmother. 



It escalated when he had two heart attacks and was diagnosed with diabetes. He would call me and my children names, put a belt around my son's neck, and even held a gun to his head while I was at work. 

He also hit my oldest son in the head with an object, causing seizures. This was when I knew I had to get my children and myself away from him.

Q)What was your mental condition when you were going through that abusive marriage?

A) My mental state was unstable. Initially, we would attend church every Sunday, but after his health issues began, he changed. 

He started watching Illuminati videos on YouTube, which confused me. 

I became afraid and intimidated, unsure of what he was capable of. This was especially true after he falsely accused me of hitting him with a BB gun and had me locked up.

Q) Did it affect your children as well?

A) Yes, the abuse affected my children   mentally, verbally, physically, and emotionally. They required counseling, and I had to take steps to protect them.

Q) How did you get away from the situation?

A)I obtained a restraining order, but he wouldn't let me retrieve our children's belongings or my personal items. I lost everything, including my job. I moved in with my children's godparents and eventually got my own home. Later, I decided to move back to Chicago to be closer to my family.

Q) What steps did you take to heal from the traumatic experience?

A) I was court-ordered to attend counseling, which helped me heal from childhood traumas I hadn't addressed. 

I also found strength in my faith, believing that God had a purpose and plan for me.

Q) Did that relationship turn you away from God?

A) Initially, yes. I questioned God's presence in my life, wondering why He would allow my husband to abuse me despite our covenant. 

I felt alone, empty, and voiceless. 

However, through counseling and reflection, I came to understand that my faith was not the problem, but rather a source of strength and healing.
