My abuser walked me down the aisle

My own mum despised me from the moment I was born

Almost half a century had passed, but I couldn’t forget what he put  me through

Though he was beloved by everyone, Elina Fragola, 65, learned that her husband had a dark side

I thought I’d never tell a soul what happened in that graveyard

The first time I said those words, I wasn’t believed. Almost 30 years on, I tried again

I left him when I was pregnant with his baby – but that wasn’t the end
