She started by writing: "Abusive partners always cry after they've beaten you & blame it on "something that happened to them in life" & play the victim….

"..I know because I've had 2 abusive partners. One said his mother didn't love him, the other said he was raped (he wasn't) #domesticviolence"

She continued: "And FYI, domestic violence can happen to even the strongest of people. Did you know that 1 in 4 women have experienced it first hand?"

"Every time he hit me, he cried & I felt sorry for him but also scared of him. I was young. I'd NEVER allow a man to lay a finger on me now.

"I know it happens to men too but I am a woman & I believe that speaking out is the only way to help other women instead of it being taboo."

As Jodie gained support for talking about such a hugely important topic, she began to reveal even more upsetting details.

She said: "As well as being beaten by my own boyfriend, my best friend was murdered by her boyfriend so I know the true horrors of domestic violence.

"2 women a week are killed by a current or former partner. It's outrageous. And women are still too scared to speak up! #enddomesticviolence

"Sorry, I know it's a bit of a heavy topic but I saw something that wound me up & felt the need to speak up. Women should help women x x"

She added: "I forgot to add, one of the blokes that beat me up is now in prison for murder. They don't change #domesticviolence"

"For what it's worth, in my humble opinion; women-beaters never change so get out now while you can before it's too late. You're worth more."

Finally, Josie called for men and women everywhere to recognise the amazing work Refuge do to help victims of domestic abuse.
