Veteran singer, Onyeka Onwenu has revealed she didn't give up easily even when it became extremely toxic and abusive.

Speaking in an exclusive chat with journalist Chude Jideonwo, she stated that she had a beautiful marriage with her ex-husband, adding that they were friends.

The singer described her marriage as incredible. Sadly, things changed and the marriage became emotionally abusive. According to Onyeka, when things happen to people they change, and they take it out on the people closest to them, Legit.ng said.

Speaking on why it took so long for her to walk away, the veteran noted that it was because she loved him and her kids.

She said, "...So you make sacrifices because of the family. But there comes a time when you have to say, I’ve done enough of the sacrificing and if you really care about the children, you save yourself, because it could have killed me, it could have killed me. So, you save yourself. I was going down and then, my brother comes in. It took my brother calling me aside one day to say ‘you’re losing yourself."
