I grew up as an ultra-Orthodox Jew – my kids no longer speak to me after I fled my abusive husband and left the community

A woman who grew up in Hasidic Jewish community where she was taught her only goal should be to ‘bear as many children as possible’ has recounted her harrowing escape after she was ‘sold’ by her own parents to an ‘abusive’ husband.
Beatrice Weber was raised in an ‘ultra-orthodox’ Jewish community in Canada, where she was told her ‘only goal in life’ should be to become a wife and mother.
At age 18, her parents ‘sold’ her to the grandson of a Rabbi for a ‘hefty price,’ and he soon became her husband.
Together, they had 10 children – but after years of enduring horrific ‘manipulation’ and ‘abuse,’ Beatrice built up the strength to escape.
But her road to freedom would not come easily, as she was forced to battle it out in court with her ex-husband for over a decade in order to gain custody of just some of her children.
