'My MBE's not for me... it's for women who were killed by their partners', says OfficialMelB. womensaid
But it was her decision to write her painfully frank autobiography about her years of abuse, called Brutally Honest and serialised in The Sun in 2018, that completely changed the course of her life.
Melanie also told how she suffered PTSD flashbacks from her abusive marriage and felt horrendous guilt over her three daughters, Phoenix, 22, Angel, 14, and ten-year-old Madison, who lived through the chaos of that relationship.“But in 2018 so many publishers turned it down because they didn’t feel it was an issue that people wanted to read about. Domestic violence still felt like a taboo, a conspiracy of silence.
Since becoming Patron of Women’s Aid in November 2018, Mel has become a huge force in the charity, raising money and awareness, speaking at events, visiting refuges and collaborating with classical musician Fabio D’Andrea on an emotional modern dance film. “That made me feel incredibly proud of myself, of all women who’ve been through similar experiences and of all the people who have helped me along this path.
Melanie, who has spent the past few years reunited with her family and consolidating relationships with her mum and daughters, says the person she most wanted to tell about the MBE was her father, Martin, who died in 2017.
