With her shocking photo, she now shows herself after what she describes as an attack by her ex on Instagram.
This photo says more than a thousand words
"Everything was fine in the beginning, but over time his true face was revealed," Aline describes her ordeal. "Men don't hit women and I hid it for a long time. In his eyes I was a woman who should be oppressed!" She continues. Her partner is said to be to blame for the many injuries on her body.
A person who no longer has a place in her life, says Aline. "I'm free again now and I'll concentrate on what's important again. No man in the world can take my smile away from me." Then she sends a message directly to her alleged tormentor: "These marks you left me will heal over time!"

Get up and fight back!", A follower encourages others affected. Another feels reminded of her own bad experiences. "You're speaking from my soul… I've had experiences like that before." Many others admire Aline's courage in making her story public. And who knows, when her wounds heal, inside and out, she might finally meet the man who's right for her.
