The Thing About Domestic Violence

The term Domestic Violence has been misunderstood.

Campaigns to earnest awareness regarding domestic violence has proven to be a complete failure.
On social media, blogs and etc we only see and hear stories about women been a victim of domestic violence and the irony of this is that women are still on the fight to be equals with men, to be heard and believed in but then playing the role of the weaker sex.

The whole essence of this blog is not to take sides with either of the sexes. As a matter of fact I've been a victim of domestic violence before now, as much as I don't deserve to be molested, I also have to take responsibility of contributing been a cause of that incident.

Okay chill!
I know you'd be saying so I should stick to a man who abuses me at every slight opportunity? No!

What's Domestic violence?
Like stated earlier laymen without proper research understands
 'Domestic Violence' as a woman been a victim of physical and emotional abuse.

But really Domestic violence victim could be the man or the woman or even a child. In this part of the world (Africa) and in most cases men go through Emotional abuse and in rare occasions you see a man been a victim of Domestic Violence.

So yes dear readers Men too are victims of domestic violence.

But still that's not the point.
The point of this blog is for readers to get a proper understanding of Domestic violence and also how to curb Domestic violence.
 You see women campaign on social media #Leave #you don't have to stay #Girl you don't need to find yourself in the hospital before you leave.
And now I'm like as much as this is wrong Women (that's the focus of this blog) should accept some level of responsibility when it comes to the subject matter.

Believe it or not but the level of ignorance based on this topic is doing more harm than good to relationships. You'd see young women breaking out of one relationship to the next due to the #Domestic Violence.
This is very crucial. And this is where God (knowledge) comes in (proverbs 2:1-22)

But then that's where proverbs 1:7 comes into play.

Relationship and commitment doesn't require just the heart or love to make it work, neither does it need you to only use your head but it also requires God (spirituality) to make it work.

A man who is led by God's word and seeks wisdom would never let go of his temper and stoop so low to hit his woman or punish her emotionally. Reason because he understands that he should love his wife just as Christ loved the Church.
 (Ephesians 5:25)
This is the ultimate foundation to build a healthy relationship.

Secondly don't push your man.
Men could be babies which is very understood but then our words I.e it is the things we say to them; it could make them or destroy them.

And finally when you find yourself in a heated conflict with your partner instead of allowing the worse happen and leading to you leaving for good, give yourselves some space.
It all falls back to God's word.
(Psalm 37:8), (proverbs 14:29) etc
At that point you both are been human. He's human just as much as you're so you avoid it and support him and not all about running away.


In conclusion I'm really hoping you enjoyed reading and also learnt from this blog you could also contribute by adding your opinion on the comment box below.

Our Potty Training Story

Our Potty Training Story As at the time I'm writing this blog my baby 'Vida' is two years old and she's potty trained. Initially she got potty trained at about 21 to 22months old officially even though before then she'd indicate when she needed to use her potty but i choose to say 22months old because she decided independently on her own to stop wearing diapers, whenever I wore her diapers she'd remove it and that's when I came to the conclusion that we were potty trained! So initially I introduced potty to my daughter quite early, I think somewhere around 8-9 months; reasons because the bath my mum gifted us came with a potty and also she (my mum) engineered the idea of how nice it'd be if I started potty training early. So I do as told even though I wasn't doing it consistently, reason because it was difficult to tell when she needed to pee or poo, it just happens plus I wasn't always into it, so it was off and on for me. Fast forward to when s...

Fifteen Things I Would Teach My Daughter

Motherhood is overwhelming . I mean all what I think about is ensuring a sustainable and bright future for my baby girl. For me having a baby girl is like recreating the mini version of yourself and doing anything possible to avert her from making the same mistakes you made and encouraging her to do things you wished you'd have done but was too scared to do. Now that's my truth, I can't say for any other person. Fact is I can't manipulate my daughter's future neither is it right to dictate her life, but here are things I'd love to teach her.  Your Gender Doesn't Define What You Should Do,  Become or Love:  Growing up as a young girl society made me believe some certain things are meant for the male and also for the female; from career choices to hobbies, even as far as to politics, TV shows or entertainment etc.Now this is not a sexist blog but I'd love for my baby girl to know that the things she loves and is passionate about isn't and shouldn...

Getting Hitched

Been Married for Three months traditionally and two months legally and in the sight of God. I tend to see and listen to many single ladies drowl and gush on the thought of getting Married. Now don't get me wrong there's absolutely nothing wrong with that if only it's for the right reasons and with a proper understanding of the word "Marriage". During school days i was opportuned to have several amazing friends who'd gush and fantasies on their dream wedding mostly when they go online and check out videos and stories on some of the top Nigerian weddings via Instagram. Back then for me I wasn't really all blown away by the thought of having a fabulous wedding and what not; I was rather more of a  " I am happy and that's all that counts".  I had my boyfriend then back in school and we were really happy but never for once did I allow the thought of marriage sink in because quote me wrong but I felt marriage would ruin everythin...
