My marriage is just two years old, but I feel like I’ve been through a lifetime of pain. I work as an accountant in a secondary school and earn ₦110,000 monthly. Two months after we got married, my husband took my ATM card. Every month when my salary came, he’d withdraw the entire amount, keep ₦70,000 for himself, and give me ₦40,000. Out of the ₦40,000, he’d insist I use it for household needs and transportation to work.

When I asked him what he was doing with the money, he said he was adding it to his tailoring materials business. I complained to my mother, but she told me to endure because he’s my husband.

One month, I told him I wanted to change my wardrobe and get new shoes for work, so I’d need my full salary. His response shocked me. He called me a "stupid woman" and told me to manage what I had. When I stood my ground, he beat me with a belt.

I couldn't take it anymore, so I confided in my employer. She suggested I open another account and have my salary split—₦55,000 in the old account and ₦20,000 in the new one. She also advised me to tell my husband that the school was downsizing and my salary had been reduced.

When I told him, he didn’t even react. He collected ₦40,000 from the "reduced" salary and left me with ₦10,000. I asked him, “How do you expect me to go to work with this? And what are you even using your own money for?” That question earned me another beating. This time, he kicked me in the stomach, and I miscarried the baby I was carrying.

After I was discharged from the hospital, he warned me, “If you ever question me again, I will disfigure you.” I was broken. I had dated him for over a year and never saw this side of him, but now, I was trapped.

Things got worse when my mother had an accident. I asked him if I could send her ₦15,000 when my salary was paid. He refused, saying his mother needed a deep freezer for her fish business. I didn’t argue but quietly sent some money from my hidden account to my mum.

A week later, his mother had an accident while in a keke. He came to me and said, “You have to take a loan from your office to help treat my mother.” I told him, “Use the money you’ve been keeping from my salary. And remember, when my mother had an accident, you told me not to help her.” He was furious, but I stood my ground.

Two months later, when he realized my full salary was no longer coming into the old account, he returned my ATM card. I told him, “Keep it. I don’t need it anymore.” Enraged, he grabbed his belt to beat me again. This time, I picked up the curtain rod and hit him on the neck.

He ran out, shouting that I wanted to kill him. He told his family, and they demanded I apologize. I told them, “Over my dead body.”

I packed my things and left the marriage. With the help of a woman I once worked for as a nanny, who sent me ₦450,000, I rented an apartment and moved out.

Now, my pastor is insisting we reconcile, but I told him to his face, “It will never be well with you if you keep trying to push me back to that devil!” Though I later apologized to my pastor, I made it clear I would never go back.

The biggest challenge now is my mother. She keeps begging me to return, saying, “If you don’t go back, it will break my heart. I might even die.” My mum is diabetic and hypertensive, and my father is late, so this weighs heavily on me.

How do I convince her that going back is not an option? I can’t go back to that man, no matter what. Please, I need advice.
