The woman had been a victim of domestic abuse at the hands of her pathologically jealous husband for several years. She kept everything a secret, never sought help, and simply hoped he would eventually change. Unfortunately, that change never came – instead, his violence grew worse over time. The terrifying truth of what had been happening behind the walls of their home came to light only after a near-death experience. Her husband attacked her with a machete, leaving her with serious injuries. In a desperate attempt to survive, she fled outside and called for help. Neighbors contacted emergency services, and she was transported to a hospital where doctors were able to save her life. What makes the situation even more horrifying is that their young son witnessed the entire attack.
