Jessica Davies, 23, has been left with the physical and mental scars of the abuse from Thomas Parry
A young woman who was covered head to toe in bruises was so badly beaten by her partner that she wrote a letter saying goodbye to her young son.
Jessica bravely wants to to raise awareness about domestic abuse and to help others. She said: "I felt physically and emotionally powerless and I thought the only way out was death. Either he was going to kill me or I'd take my own life." She added: “I really believed he was going to kill me. He was a hulk of a man. He was absolutely savage. He tried to dehumanise me in every way he could. He told me nobody could stop him. He spat on me and tipped a tin of talcum powder all over me. I was in so much pain for his beating and I begged him to let me sleep in our bed but he wouldn't allow and made me sleep on the floor like an animal.
"My body was black and blue all over from the bruises. He hit me so hard in the face there was blood everywhere from my nose and it went all over the walls as he forced me into the shower to wash the blood away. When I saw myself in the mirror I barely recognised myself. I could barely walk and I hurt so badly. I was in absolute agony.”

She said: "As I told the police what I’d been through I could see one of the officers tear up - that’s how bad my injuries were.”
"The people who write those references are plainly speaking about somebody other than the person standing in the dock. The fact is you are a bully. Men who hit women are not just bullies, they are cowards and you are a coward."
