How Fitness Helped Me Rebuild After Escaping An Abusive Arranged Marriage | Myprotein

Sharon Singh was engaged at just 6 years old and married before her 18th birthday. She was brought up to never go against her parents’ wishes and was only ever expected to cook, clean, and look after her children.

Her husband at the time was controlling and abusive, to the point where Sharon says she “could never be my own person”. Eventually, things deteriorated so much that he tried to throw her out of the house.

Finding herself alone for the first time in her life and cut off from her family, Sharon had to start a brand new life with her children.

During this time, she was also a 1-to-1 carer for her eldest son, Nishaan, who was born with severe complex needs and a rare chromosome condition. She had to find a way to get him to countless doctor’s appointments and hospital stays, watching over him in intensive care as he recovered from a 12-hour surgery on his spine.

The only thing keeping her from completely giving up was the thought of letting her children down. She says that they made her realise she had to invest in herself too, “That’s why I started to run, eat healthily, join the gym, be a better person within myself.”

Now the gym has become almost like a sanctuary for Sharon to relieve stress and have her own space.

Watch her incredible story now.
