      Hey Kim, glad to know you have a chance to help people to avoid such suffering. It would be nice if you study trauma in detail. It's not just a phrase but a complex phenomena, a reason why the majority stick in domestic abuse. You can't just apply, you need to understand. Trauma healing should happen beforehand. During premarital counseling such patterns should be applied. Unfortunately most people don't get that kind of help. They first get into trouble only to learn later

      2. Jesus, the gentle parent
      3. Leslie Vernick's books

      Usinichukulie vibaya but I find that we Kenyan family, friends and the church in particular hatujielimishi kwa mambo haya. We should not continue perishing for lack of (readily available) knowledge. And I hope one or 2 may also benefit from these.

    Hey Lynn it's a pleasure to listen to Idah, especially now that she's our heroine, she a representation of some of us who also walked out at a very young age. At your own time, I'd like to tell my story on your channel and encourage young women on the importance of moving out. I personally lost myself, my child taken away, suffered with depression and ended up in drugs. Being married to a cop character debeloped me real bad. I am doing better now and no longer depending on alcohol

    My sister went through something like that, years of emotional abuse and months of physical abuse. She has two boys, when she decided to leave, her life changed. First thing I noticed was how shocked she was by her support system, especially our mum. Our mum is a single mum as well and she never knew what my sister was going through, but the minute she did, she was so supportive. I don’t know what my sister was expecting, but the support surprised her. As Africans, we shy away from emotional conversations, even telling family we love them and we'll be there for them no matter what. I think this needs to change. This may be why people go through hell for years, all alone.

    • @nekesamapesa
      @nekesamapesa 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      We shy away and sometimes it's because not everyone will be understanding and supportive. In my case I was the talk of the family. Most of my relatives would see me and give me that disapproving look, talk about me without regard for my feelings and the fact that I had turned to alcohol was their only focus. No one wanted anything to do with me even after all the support I had accorded them through the years. My aunts would tell their grown up children not to hang out or talk to me cos nitawafunza tabia mbaya ( meaning watakua alcoholic kama mimi) . All in all God healed me and now I am happily single, healthy and wiser.
