Emotional testimony from Dora Figueiredo

As previously mentioned, it was in 2019 that Dora Figueiredo gained more notoriety, when she released a 17-minute video reporting the your experience within an abusive relationship.

We even have a complete article with 14 warnings to identify an abusive relationship.

“I decided to tell you the truth about what I experienced, so that somehow I can be honest with you, so that women who go through this don’t feel like failures like I felt. And for people to become aware of the fact that psychological abuse, an abusive relationship, is the first step towards domestic violence, physical violence”, she says at the beginning of the video.

In the report she talks about situations she experienced with her ex-boyfriend and how it made her feel:

“I lived with a person who constantly controlled what I ate, controlled my weight, made me feel extremely useless for simply not being able to go to the gym because I was in a deep depression, wanting to kill myself every day”, reported the young woman in tears in the video.

Despite the report full of details and revelations, the young woman did not reveal the name of her boyfriend. However, fans began to say in the comments that it would be Otávio Albuquerque, also a YouTuber.

Resilience

So, three years have passed since the young woman’s report. A lot has happened and a lot of time has passed, but not everything is rosy. Even after this time, Dora Figueiredo claims to have not completely healed from the trauma.

She used Twitter to talk about the subject, where she revealed that to this day she still doesn’t feel completely whole. “I lost friendships that took me years to build, I lost all my self-esteem and my identity,” she said in one of several tweets on the subject.

Overcoming comes with time, but Dora says she doesn’t know if she will ever feel complete. “I feel like he just stole me from myself forever.” And he continues, “If you are in an abusive relationship or have left one, know that there is life, yes, after this nightmare. It may not be the same, but it’s nothing compared to the horror of living with someone around you who says they love you and at the same time takes pleasure in destroying you.”

Consequences of trauma

In an interview with Universa, Dora said that there was a moment when she really believed in her ex and thought she could no longer have healthy friendships or relationships: “He made me believe that I was unbearable.”

This is a trauma that even after three years, the young woman claims to have difficulty relating to and trusting people, especially feeling loved by them. “I was very afraid of calling people on birthdays and no one would show up or people wouldn’t like me. I had to reach a level of approval that made me not approach anyone”, recalls the young woman.

But despite everything, she carries a reminder in the form of a tattoo on her wrist, which says “healing”. After all this time, Dora claims to understand that the process of overcoming is long and painful. “It’s not easy, but I’m very happy that, through this process, I’m helping other people who have gone through the same thing to overcome it too”, is one of her wishes, according to her.

Empowerment

Not long ago, Dora Figueiredo gave further proof of her empowerment. She made a post on social media with lingerie photos. This is because the young woman spent R$900 to please an affair that didn’t go very well.

“I spent 900 reais on lingerie for a slutty male, so I went there and did a shoot to remember what a hottie I am and that I can wear them with much better people. Be a muggle, but be a muggle who knows how hot she is”, she said in the caption of the post.

The person responsible for the photos was a friend of the influencer, Isabela Catão. “She took the photos and I sent her an audio saying exactly that: ‘hi, so let’s wear here the lingerie that I bought in love and I’m not going to wear, friend’. If we are going to suffer, at least we suffer, I’m tired of suffering alone in bed crying, guys” she commented on the photos.
