"I have been battered and beaten. I thought I have an understanding, a knowing of fearing the one you love. For a good 19 years it seemed like I had overcome the abuse. I made my 3 beautiful daughters the center of my world and promised them to NEVER again expose them to a violent and abusive home."
The radio host revealed that 2018 was a true test. She explained that her husband beat her.
"Yesterday... Revealed a different side to my Prince Charming.

Yes, yesterday on 21 January 2019, my husband raised his hand on me and beat me..."
Criselda also shared that she has opened a case against him.
