[@wendymtandagai5240]

Madam Speaker you have international viewers, can you put subtitles for us non SA. We end up guessing what she is saying in line with story. You are doing well, your stories relate to so many. Top notch❤❤❤

[@millicentagani4384]

I like the podcast, but I wish she could do subtitles as well...

[@DevineCyrus5]

This woman is telling my story...😢😢exactly..n i mean exactly 😢😢😢this is scary...

[@PrincessItu2476]

Everytime you listen to people talking about their abusive partners, it's like they're talking about one person, the manipulation, the cheating, insecurities all those things, they're all the same, the only difference I think is the homicide or the type of killing...and I didn't notice that I until I went through the abuse, now I notice the signs of abusive very early whether from other people's relationships or even on soapies.

[@kagomokgweetsi3048]

😢😢😢😢😢

[@maselloanethokoa3715]

[@preccamadzimela]

Watching this while i am going through my own divorce, leaving a narcissist gave me hope and strength.

[@bumblebee7082]

Me too , I filed for a divorce 4 months ago, after 11yrs of marriage filled with GBV. This gave me hope cos I realise Im normal. Right now I have NOTHING, but happy back home and starting over again. All the best to you@preccamadzimela I am hoping my divorce will be finalized in early 2024

[@bhekisilentobedzi690]

I think Nthabi, when she loves she give her all and forget the real person in her, that's why ths Men take advantage of,nowadays Men ba batla bo-stubbon-nyana

[@lettienkitseng3923]

I think le nna ke ausi Nthabi😥😥😥

[@Maria-yp6le]

It is sad that sometimes our mothers expose us to abuse from their lovers. But I am glad that the kids are okay and excelling.

[@highandmightyqueen79]

sis Nthabi you sound so loving nkosiyam its always the good women who are hurt the most

[@Spiritwave22]

true sis

[@Leboko80]

Narcissists feed on Empaths.

[@ChannelleSwartz]

These stories cuts very deep. Glad you came out stronger, bruised and alived.Your story is one to help so many of us. Narcissist are Satan's best agents I am living proof of having survived dating one.

[@ntombikoloti2034]

Madame Speaker Nthabi is telling the truth Women who stand strong in public when we get home we are treated like door mats,I met this guy two yrs ago in the 1st three months into the relationship he started verbally ill treating me, it became so normal every month it was a new story verbal abuse became strong he regarded himself a Saint and me a bitch I dressed him from head to toe including his kids but he will make sure he calls me all this names,one day I looked at myself in the mirror and can't belive that I'm what he says I'm he will go around and bad mouth me amongst my friend while I don't know his friends and family Narcists makes u think you are bad person and they are clean thanks Nthabi❤

[@beniesmatsetse2202]

I don't tolerate verbal abuse. I would leave the next minute

[@leratoseloma599]

Pls tell ur story one can learn a thing or two from it

[@hlengiweyourstruly]

Yoh!! That's such a horrible experience

[@N.kaDikane24]

I'm going thru the same right now worse I'm disabled, I have tried to let him know that he is emotionally abusive. Not even a single day goes by when I don't cry. It a hard dealing with an abuse and the disability😭😭😭😭😭

[@hlengiweyourstruly]

@@N.kaDikane24 I'm begging you to leave him

[@tshegofatsoaphane175]

My heart sank, coz I remember how you praised your ex husband at the Diepkloof workshop. My partner was inspired by y'all as a couple. I'm so sorry for your experience.

[@mamsykgaphola6677]

It's depressing to listen to this. People who stay in such conditions a long time with kids involved. It's a waste of so much time and creating a prison for little ones. Ba ba mapantiti kaga bo bona,while they are still wet behind their ears😢😢

[@faithxalabile9597]

So sorry for misfortune Nthabi. Narcissistic are like demons, multiple characters within one . Really scary and funny

[@wendymokoena2504]

Her second ex husband was exactly like my ex, escaping a narcissist relationship 😢leaves you with scars for life but healing is assured

[@Lisziomania]

"I'm all for women" love that my queens 👸 big love to you my ladies ⚘🥂❤💯

[@madams___speaker]

Thank you so much ❤❤

[@Viewer101]

These stories are so sad & the level of anxiety it gives me… even though they are an eye opener 😭

[@ndapewateofelus9863]

I just bought a brand new car, and I just recently got my driver's licence, so I asked my husband to go driving with me so that I can get used to driving this new car, the whole trip I was being shouted at, being told how useless I am, how stubborn I am while I don't know anything, the mental abuse, which is the norm, I have to walk on eggshells around him, as much as I now know that the man does not love me, as much as I dont depend on him financially, I jist dont know why I am subjecting myself to this....everytime I get flashbacks of the mental abuse, I get shivers

[@cynthialenjo6591]

Yooh these men are usually intimidated by women success and they show it by lashing out and not helping you ...Run

[@mariashigwedha8353]

Leave my sis, that guy is jealous off u, he doesn't want to see u progressing. He might poison u to get all u have . Be careful my love, always choose u first no matter what. 🤗

[@matildahm7230]

So beautiful ❤ and inspirational. Let’s not give up on ourselves ladies 🎉

[@madams___speaker]

Absolutely 💯 giving up is not an option ❤

[@_molebogeng6281]

So happy that Nthabi got her happy ending. Loved her final message coz through her life story I learnt she had no control over how her partners treated her but she owed it to herself to choose herself so she can create a better life for herself and kids. Congratulations mama🎉❤

[@madams___speaker]

Amen to that !! Thank you so much sis ❤️❤️

[@88LEBXION1GP]

I know her from our early days in Palm Springs, she's a remarkable woman indeed. An inspiration to many. Her mother was a mother of the nation as well. All the best Nthabi!

[@onahndlovu4469]

This is quite shocking. I know Nthabi's 2nd husband whom she recently divorced & I was really wondering what actually happened. I am glad she shared her side of the story. The guy used of how much he loves Nthabi; how good she has been to their family; he used to flaunt her around & praise her so much. I was actually surprised when he said they're now divorced. I guess pple choose to show only the good about their lives on social media. This is a sad story. I thought they'd go far together as they both seemed to be from previously troubled marriages. 😢 I guess we also tend to attract the same kinda toxic pple if we don't sever ties spiritually. These tend to be more spiritual if they are now becoming a pattern. I hope they both pull down; destroy & pluck out before they can build something new relationship-wise. Those who are deeply & spiritually inclined will understand what I mean by a curse repeating itself.

[@Spiritwave22]

The mom was right to ask that question based on the men’s calibre. She could not believe that such a men can do this.

[@kholofeloletswalo]

Narcissist don’t care about anyone’s pain, Narcissist are selfish and they are very manipulative. What an episode 😢. Some men are cruel 🚮. Happy endings are so fulfilling, glad you are at peace and feeling the love you’ve been pouring all along. ❤️

[@madams___speaker]

❤❤

[@user-qw1he2wd3w]

I do agree abuse comes in different ways, youll never be prepared for it because as a woman you always want to be loved and be submissive to your partner

[@nenesibanda4171]

All that Ntabi went through didn't mean she's weak, she went through that process cause God wanted to use her to be a voice for the voiceless and this was based on experience and not something she read somewhere. Woman should love themselves and through this they will then realise when they not love correctly. I loved this episode,big ups Madam Speaker.

[@thapelodhlamini4439]

Oh I ❤ Nthabi she's so well spoken and kind God protect her

[@Itumelengmatlou]

What an episode, some men will make you look like your the crazy person. Nthabi has seen it all but never gave up on love. That's because not all men are the same😊

[@madams___speaker]

I totally agree!❤️

[@PrincessItu2476]

Abusive men are like that, you'll feel like you're the crazy one, and the feeling becomes persistent until the day you choose to leave. The healing journey/process is also challenging, believe you me, I know

[@rinahleyana7466]

My baby daddy was like that sometimes it was like am crazy plus he's was drinking 😢 he'll deny everything he said or did and he was very dangerous to me but outside he'll be so kind show people that we're dating while he knows he's very abusive when he's drunk 😢

So inspiring ✨ 🙌 We share so much in common Nthabi. 4 daughters, very disciplined kids. I also am a founder of "Broken Vessels " Ministry for women who feel vulnerable and hurt. Based on the scripture "Psalm 34 vs 4" it's all about healing ♥.. may God continue with us , there's still a lot to be done. I hope we meet personally one day.

[@iwasneverthereatallatallin8000]

I wish not to invalidate the experience the speaker went through. And not that re-marrying is a bad thing. But it seems there is a deeper level of healing still needed - that surpass validation by marriage. I can imagine that the children are triggered once more. But we pray for a good experience.

🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️

[@tshegofatsothegreat]

Never ever fall for a man that can bad mouth their exwives or exgirlfriends for their failed relationhsips. A true man or women will never blame the next person for their failures. That is why an abused women would be hopeful that their relationship will be better if she stays in the relationship, and those kind good women should be valued instead of being abused.

[@nomvulakumalo4900]

You know what I've realized is for us to tell our story we are signed up to go through those situations. And God make sure we survive to tell our story to other women
