Sara recounted that she was unaware when she experienced violence from her ex-boyfriend for 3 years. She admitted that she had asked for a breakup, but her ex threatened to kill her family.

Deddy then asked how someone could not realize that they were in a wrong relationship. Sara gave her answer as to why she didn't realize it at that time.

"Well, it might vary. But for me, at that time, I was really afraid because I believed that what came out of his mouth could be done. He could carry out those threats. It's like brainwashing. Like whatever he said, I believed. When he cried and apologized, I believed. That's what made me stuck," Sara explained.

2. Just Told Her Parents

Furthermore, Deddy asked about the condition of her parents after finding out about it. Surprisingly, Sara said that she only recently told them.

"They were shocked. Really shocked. But I guess I told them at the right time. Maybe if I had told them earlier, they would have been more devastated or something. Especially since I was still struggling to find a way out of that dark path," she explained.

In the end, the issue was resolved and Sara continued to learn as time went on. She is grateful that she did not experience trauma during the relationship. Now she is happily married for 6 years with the magician Demian.
