Gemma is victorious over 15 years of domestic violence
Gemma is victorious over 15 years of domestic violence (beaten, put down, raped, almost killed twice by strangulation).
2 different stories, one time 5 years, followed by a second time 10 years. At the end of the second story, she was at the end of what she could endure in terms of constant mental, emotional, physical, sexual, and financial abuse, that she started to get herself ready to LEAVE this relationship. But it didn't work out as she was expecting. Every time she left, she found herself back home as if she never left.
One day, in June 2013, it was too much, and she decided to make her plea to God in person and to tell Him: "I didn't sign up for a life of abuse. There must have been a misunderstanding somewhere. I'm okay You send me back to Earth in another lifetime, but this time around, it is for a life of love, respect, trust, reliability, where we truly adore each other within our couple, where it feels safe to go back home after a day of work." - then she proceeded to commit suicide by jumping from the 10th floor of her apartment building, without calling anybody for help, mistrusting the entire world, and feeling alone in her misery.
That's where GOD'S MAGIC happened. Gemma heard a voice without seeing anybody around her. She reports that this is the most beautiful, melodious, magic voice she has ever heard. The voice told her: "Of course you can jump, it's going to work. But I'm going to give you the same life in worse. Is that really what you want?" As you can imagine, in her situation, she was horrified and screamed back with all the cells of her body: "Nooo!" Then the voice ended up the conversation by giving her a clear next action step: "Ok, then leave by the door."
She did leave by the door instead of the window and left her life of domestic violence one last time, that is still lasting to this day, 11 years later.

-- Noooooo --
Ok, so leave by the door."
