10 Symptoms Vanished After Leaving Abusive Marriage: Daniella Atim’s Insights

Daniella Atim is gradually becoming a voice of wisdom in matters of marriage.

Taking to Instagram on Monday morning, May 27, she outlined what she termed as “10 physical symptoms that disappeared when I left my abusive marriage.”

They are as follows:

1. Sadness (My eyes couldn’t even open; I was always squinting).
2. Weight loss (This one needs no mention).
3. Hair loss (Everyone thought I had no hair but now I chop quarterly).
4. Pale tired skin (You can safely say ‘nali musiwufu’).
5. Unexplained fatigue (Now I am rejuvenated and energetic).
6. Always bloated (Don’t remember when I recently felt bloated).
7. Quiet and reserved (I was powerless… I actually can talk and I am both reserved and outgoing).
8. Sadness.
9. Sadness.
10. Sadness.

Daniella Atim, who was married to singer Jose Chameleone for 16 years, recently listed 11 things she would never tell a woman in an abusive marriage. They were:

1. It’s just a spiritual attack. (It’s not, he is just toxic.)
2. You’ll ruin your kids if you leave. (No, you won’t.)
3. Did you read that book about marriage? (Pay attention to the red flags.)
4. Be patient. (If they do it once, they’ll do it again.)
5. For better or worse. (Jesus doesn’t want you to suffer.)
6. It’s just a season; things will get better (abuse only gets worse.)
7. Are you desirable to him? (You even doubt your worth now.)
8. How is your sex life? (Sex is not the only important part of marriage.)
9. What will society think? (You mean the snobs?)
10. You have it going well for yourself. (No, you have settled for less.)
11. He is just young and will get better as he grows… (No, he is simply an asshole.)

It’s also noteworthy that Daniella Atim has recently launched a YouTube channel where she will candidly discuss both the positive and negative aspects of her marriage to Chameleone.
