Daniella Atim with Jose Chameleone.
Abba Marcus Mayanja, son to Ugandan singer Joseph Mayanja aka Jose Chameleone, has spoken out on why his mother Daniella and father Jose Chameleone separated.
He says the matter of his parents’ separation is “deeply personal and important because it involved domestic violence.
By coming out to address the matter of his parents’ separation, he seeks to join the campaign to break the silence, support survivors and created domestic violence awareness.
Abba Marcus Mayanja says that many people may not know that the marriage between his parents Daniella and Jose Chameleone “ended because my mom survived domestic violence.”
“For years, she endured physical, emotional, and psychological abuse. The scars ran deep, and the pain was unbearable,” wrote Abba Marcus Mayanja.
He adds that the her mother Daniella’s situation was worsened by the Mayanja family not liking her.
“But what’s even more heartbreaking is that my dad’s family never accepted my mom, making the situation even more unbearable,” the Mayanja teenage son noted.
He attempts to defend his mother, saying it was not her fault. She was simply caught up in a relationship that was toxic, he suggests.
“I want to make one thing clear: domestic violence is NEVER the survivor’s fault. It’s NOT about being weak or flawed,” he writes. “It’s about being trapped in a toxic relationship with someone who chooses to abuse their power.”
Abba Marcus Mayanja also had a message for his mother, and those suffering in such relationships.
“To my mom, I want to say how proud I am of you. Your strength, resilience, and courage inspire me every day. You deserve to be loved, respected, and cherished,” he says of his mother Daniella.
“To anyone going through a similar situation, please know you’re NOT alone. There are people who care, who want to help, and who believe you. Don’t be afraid to reach out, to seek help, and to fight for your freedom.
Let’s break the silence surrounding domestic violence. Let’s support survivors, hold abusers accountable, and create a world where love is never a source of pain.”
Days ago, Abba Marcus Mayanja said that his mother Daniella was not responsible for his father Jose Chameleone’s sickness, as he revealed the disease that his father is suffering from and what brought it. (See Details Here and There).
