‘My dad couldn’t make it as expected so I jumped.’ Ms. Brodrick said in an interview with Daily Mail Australia. Brodrick landed right on a fence and her whole body sprang into a close-by ditch. She was extremely battered and of course, the doctors gave her only a 10% chance of surviving.

‘I was hurriedly rushed to Alfred Hospital where I was instantly placed in an induced coma. After which an emergency surgery was carried out on my left arm as it was slightly amputated. Fortunately, all the doctors believed it was a miracle that I could survive without brain damage.’ Ms. Brodrick added.

She continued: ‘Each time I tried to leave him, he would sit at the front door and wouldn’t let me out of the house. My whole family warned me having seen through his manipulations and instead he regularly put them down and blamed my family for my insecurities. He really made me feel like he was the only person who loved me. But now I am safe with my family and getting the assistance required.’
