Dear everyone,
I am writing you
this letter because I need to be heard. I have been the prisoner of a horrible
man for almost fifteen years now. I have been trying to get away from him
practically since I met him, and even more so in the past four years. He has
taken over my life, and now taken my children away, and I am at a loss for what
to do. I do not want to be forced into making any rash decision that would
impact my kids forever, and I certainly do not want to end up in jail, as my
children need me to raise them; but I really am desperate, and I am at my
absolute wits end. I do not know what else to do. I have decided to make a
public appeal. Maybe someone will hear me and come to my help, because I really
need help. The Canadian justice system has failed me many times, and even now,
continues to fail me. I am hoping and praying that someone out there will come
and rescue my children and me.
My name is Amaka
and I work in Medical Laboratory Science. I am a BCIT Alumnus. I am also the mother
of two fantastic children, a nine year old boy and a seven year old girl.
My ordeal
started in when I met their father, Chris, in Nigeria in 1997.
