[3xandgrateful]

Thank you, Clemmie.

She survived domestic violence, started to recreate her life with only the clothes on her back never mind the few, fresh bruises on her face. She saved herself. She saved me, too

I met her in 2018. Tanned skin, small, round-eyed beauty. She’s a woman to behold. She’s also a newly promoted Team Leader at work. 

She speaks with a bit of British accent, worked for a UK account she said. Til now, I can’t get over with the way she says the word ‘branch’.

I was so young when I joined her team. She has been with the company for 13 years. Having been a hopper most of my working life, I asked her what made her stay that long. I couldn't imagine sticking around that long back then. 

“I like it here. Also, it helped me turn my life around.” 

I looked at her, urging her to go on. Young and inexperienced as I was, maybe I could learn something from her. 

Learned I did, and more. 

She married young. They were childhood sweethearts. Their families were friends. It started great. The guy’s family was even active in the Church. Little did she know how violent he can be, or that he could ever take it out on her. 

She stayed with him for a while more. But when the threats got frequent, and the bruises kept coming, she decided she’d had enough. 

“I was already employed here. I came home from work and there he was. Hurt me enough to go running out the door, without a thought of going back. All I had were the clothes on my back.” 

“I called my Boss at work. She let me stay with her until I can fend for myself. I never went back with him, no matter how much his family asked me to. I told my in-laws, I’ve suffered enough. They should be grateful I never told anyone we know about the situation, or about his son. I never pressed charges.” 

What that leader did for her, she did for me. 

I’m not a victim of domestic violence. I can well do that to me all by myself. You won’t see any bruises though. It’s all psychological. I suffer from anxiety. And I’ve been so unkind to myself for so long that it’s become so debilitating. The pandemic made it worse. 

Cooped in the house, not being able to meet my support system outside for such a long time, feeling frightened as I’m one of those labeled ‘vulnerable’ to the disease because of my respiratory condition, I spiraled into hopelessness. Racing thoughts, sleepless days, unable to get out of bed... What’s the point of living if it’s going to be as pathetic as this?

I didn’t report to work for a very long while. Like two consecutive weeks. This part of the world, you don’t report to work in two days, you’re a goner. 

But this lady would check in on me, listen to me, give me the time of day, just so I can spout as much excuses as possible. She’ll repeat one of my friends’ advices: “You don’t deserve the punishment you’ve been giving yourself.” 

“Forgive yourself for whatever you thought was your fault. It’s time to be kind to yourself now.”

She let me have several days off. She let me share with her my plans, asking me questions so I can gain clarity. She made sure I have that safe place to think. She did all she could so I can stay on with the company. Because to quit the job is to commit suicide in those trying times. Companies were laying people off left and right. And nobody knows when we’ll be able to recover.

I requested to change my work schedule to a time when I think the world is a bit quieter, but also when I can actually see the sun; a shift at work where I don’t have to talk with people who are actually going outside. She made that happen, talked to the higher ups and pledged my case. 

And I thrived. Best in class then promoted to a new role in a very short time. She helped me made that happen. And for that I’ll always be grateful for her - her understanding, her compassion, her unfailing trust on me and my ability to turn things around for myself. She saw something in me, and she chose not to give me up. She chose to help me, made me see what else is out there. That I can still shine. 

I call her my hero. I told her, she is my savior. Her name’s Clemmie. 

She’s still fighting her own battles though. One of them is not being able to get divorce. She found the new love of her life, but they can never get married.

Clemmie, thank you so much. You’re my hero.

Hey Real Heros, Yes I am talking with PARENTS/GAURDIAN Now... ! I know you love your child. But if your child is autistic he/she may do not understand it for this moment. Accept them - thier awkward moments. Make them realise it is ok not be okay. Then correct it slowly. Create a safety zone in home for them. Find a way to connect with them Give them relaxing massage with natural oils. Touch them. Hug them, lots of lots kisses. Reward good behaviour - appreciate And most important stick to a schedule, be consitent to whatever you do, let it be a small initiative. Don't give up. Patience is the ladder to their and your journey #stayfitstayhealthy @attarihomeopathy #autism #instamedicine #instautism #autisticchild #childrenhomeopathy #homeopathycures #autismandhomeopathy #consistent #dedication #instadedication #parentslove #realheroes #rewards #homoeopathymedicine #attarihomeopathy #greenhealthcare https://www.instagram.com/p/ChrvYzdp9aX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
