Nelomie Perera had endured more than most in her 20-year marriage — a volatile husband, emotional abuse, and even signs of violence — but when she finally found the strength to walk away, the consequences were unthinkable. Originally from Sri Lanka, Nelomie moved to Australia at 10 and went on to build a life in Melbourne with her husband, Dinush Kurera.
The pair had three children together, and while she tried to maintain a stable home for them, behind closed doors, she lived in fear. Despite the strain of Kurera’s temper and suspicions of abuse, she stayed — until she found out he was cheating on her while abroad in Sri Lanka, reported the Mirror.
