In May 2022, her ex-husband broke into her house at night and attacked her, along with new partner.
It followed an escalation in his behaviour in the days leading up to this, as she added: “I think I’d had about 500 calls in the three days before.
“He came to the house quite a few times but I had managed to get him to go away.”
North Wales Police investigated, and Ceri’s ex-husband was charged with assault, controlling and coercive behaviour and stalking involving serious alarm.
He admitted the offences and was jailed for three years and two months in February 2023, as well as being banned from contacting Ceri or her new partner for a decade.
Ceri decided to speak out to raise awareness of dangerous signs in a relationship.
“No form of abuse is acceptable, no-one does anything to deserve being abused and there are people and services that can help you,” she said.
