    23-YEAR-OLD Kayla Hayes has risen to overcome domestic abuse, and now she fights and advocates for other women who don’t have a voice. Kayla was 18 when her ex-boyfriend bit off 85% of her lip in an act of revenge. She was rushed to hospital but doctors were unable to reattach her lip. With over 350 stitches on her face, Kayla didn’t recognise herself and she completely lost her sense of identity. She told Truly: “I felt like a monster with such big scars over my face." Over the past five years, Kayla has been on a physical and emotional journey to heal the scars left behind by this tragedy. Her mom, Jamie, said: “It’s hard knowing that this is the life that was chosen for Kayla by someone else. But what she has done with this reality is amazing.” Kayla decided to wear her scars as wings, partnering with author Alisa Divine to share her story. Through speaking openly about her experience, Kayla raises awareness around domestic violence and brings about justice for others.

    Domestic violence is not a joke. I really teared up hearing Kayla’s story, especially when she said she felt like a monster, because the truth is that HE is the real monster. Let’s hope he’s locked away so this cannot happen to anyone else. Kayla’s resilience is admirable & I pray for her continuous healing.

      There are maximum sentences in place for every type of crime, and they only hand out life sentences for murder in America. Even the most extreme cases of aggravated battery have a max of 25 years. I think he should have gotten the max given the circumstances, but unfortunately he only got 12 years and is eligible for parole after 10, so he might be out by 2028. He should've had to serve a full 25 years in my opinion.

      I don’t know what could have happend that evening but I’m glad I moved on with my life and live peacefully now.

It was intentional so when I hear stories like this it reminds me of me some even though it was not from domestic violence because someone was trying to take away our beauty, happiness, and the light in our eyes!

Also more men coming out and talking about their abuse would help. It's gotten better in the more recent years but still, plenty of men just take the abuse or never report it because they think they need to "man up". I may be wrong but I think what they are getting at is that its seen as a "woman's issue" because typically its women being abused by men. It least a lot of people to think that only women can be abused, which obviously, isn't the case. I'm just guessing here.

He did not want me working because he thought if I was away from him for any amount of time, that meant I was cheating. I am very lucky that I was able to get away unharmed and my unborn baby being unharmed. I got away and never ever saw him again. I am currently 8 months pregnant with my baby girl and I feel grateful and lucky every day I was able to escape and protect myself and my unborn daughter from that evil man.

      @@C12341 I understand, in order for Him to go to heaven, he would have to repent from his sins and turn to Christ. God sums it all up with just this one verse. For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son and whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life John 3:16. God says repent and be saved but he doesn’t say Hell is temporary. Once a human goes to Hell, he’s there for eternity. I wanted OP to know that Hell is an awful place and we as humans shouldn’t want anyone to go there. Lastly, it’s not about religion, it’s all going to come down to your heart and your relationship with Jesus Christ. Did we follow His will for our lives? Did we put Him first? Did we forgive to be forgiven? Also a person who has trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior goes immediately to heaven to be in the presence of the Lord. Though their body is in the grave and decomposes, their soul and spirit (the immaterial part, the real person) goes immediately into the presence of the Savior. Daniel 12:2 says And many of those who sleep (die) in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. ❤️✝️ I’m sorry I said so much 😅

The level of betrayal is so deep and cruel. He wanted to make her ugly in the way he saw himself. However, he could NOT touch her beauty! Her Spirit is so bright and loving, it's impossible not to see it radiate through in the physical too. She literally is Beautiful. He tried to Break Her. Instead she rose to her BEST self!!! She is empowering EVERYONE she meets (directly or indirectly) and saving some lives along the way. May she continue her healing journey with many blessing, AMAZING!!! GRATITDE 🙏🏾💗

    For those wondering why her scar is in such a symmetrical, circular, and precise pattern (I was curious, too) - it appears that her demonic ex bit a considerable portion of her bottom lip clean off, which couldn't be re-attached. I'm guessing that to "fill" the gaping wound and restore range of motion with her mouth, surgeons were forced to re-align and reapproximate the entire mouth area extending into her nasolabial folds. In pictures immediately after the attack, you'll see it's just part of the bottom lip that's missing and the rest of her mouth is fine. No disrespect meant, btw, this is just to answer some medically valid questions that some commenters had.

    Domestic violence is real. Good thing nowadays is it's talked about,during the 1900 it was a taboo and if you took the matter to court it became an ordeal to prove beyond doubt the victim didn't cause the violence. So most victims would end up being silent sufferers. Being abused in any way is dehumanizing and I wouldn't wish it on any one - woman, man or child.
