Woman shares her story

In a previous TikTok video, Portia shared what had happened in her life in the first five months of the year. After sharing a few pictures of her home, she claimed that the man she had been in a relationship with for two years came to her place with his wife and took away everything he had bought.

"I never thought he was that kind of guy, but hey, that's life," she said.

The man allegedly left Portia with only a bed and fridge. She shared her worries about her daughter being there and experiencing "all the shame and trauma" as she saw the man as a father figure.

In one of her pictures, the woman states that God came through for her because she could fix up her home while she was healing.
