  • She described visible bruises and social withdrawal, saying she rarely left home and cut contact with friends.
  • Close friends helped her leave what she called an extremely difficult and dangerous period, and she rejects seeing herself as a victim today.
  • She directed those affected to the national helpline 116 016 and to the Lara specialist service at 030 216 8888, also noting police as an option.
