A brave young woman has shared shocking photos which show the harrowing reality of domestic abuse.
Disturbing images show how the woman’s weight dropped to just 2 stone 6 pounds after she says she was starved by her grandfather.
Identified only as Wild Cabbage on Twitter, the woman, from Japan, took the shocking images in front of a mirror when she was living with her grandfather 10 years ago.
She says she was banned from eating and that her grandfather would “kick her in the belly” if he caught her secretly having food.
Her dramatic weight loss was in part caused because when the abuse would begin, the woman spat her food out or was sick.
The woman, in her 20s, even goes as far as to say she is now “fat as a pig”.
She hasn’t revealed what happened to her grandfather.
Some people on social media have claimed the images have been photo shopped but the woman insists they are real.
She even posted further photos, which she says were taken when she was receiving treatment in hospital 10 years ago.
