The marriage was not working so I had to quit. My partner went as far as abusing me so I had to leave to protect myself and my daughter.

You mean domestic violence?

Yes, domestic violence is just the right word.



Any man in the picture at present?

I am in a relationship but I am yet to be legally separated from my husband
