All the way from Chicago, Citadel Jones shares her journey of surviving and escaping a life of abuse and violence, and how she was able to thrive and become a successful multi-entrepreneur and businesswoman.
Hello po Ms.Citadel, bilang lalaki po humihingi po ako ng paumanhin sa kung ano ang ginawa nila sa'yo on behalf of those men na nanakit po sa inyo. Walang sinuman ang deserve na masaktan. I am very proud of you kasi despite of what happened, patuloy po kayong lumalaban at ngayon mas lalong naging successful pa po kayo. Hindi talaga natutulog ang Diyos. Mabuhay po kayo and thanks for sharing your story po.
Bet ko yung natanggap sila ng requests to interview. Kasi nga naman maraming kwento ang buhay di lang sa mga artista. Sana marami pang inspiring people na magstep up and have the courage to ask tonitalks na ifeature ang life story nila.
Ruffa Gutierrez also suffer domestic violence... Naalala q sa interview nia na binubugbug din sia... Tapos nag tatago siya sa cabinet sa sobrang kaba foreigner din Yun 😢 ... Marami pa atang iba hindi lang nag sasalita
This couch is like the console of emotions from the inside out. Hands up to you Ma'am Citadel, you are precious in the eyes of our God. I pray for your healing!
Relate ako kay Maam Citadel. Pag talaga nasa abusive relationship, sobrang hirap makaalis. Totoo yan. Nabasa ko ang tungkol dyan. Stockholm syndrome, yung abuser eh ramdam ng victim na ung abuser lang din ang nagmamahal sakanya. Pls pray for me gusto ko na makawala sa ganitong sitwasyon. Lord sana marinig nyo napo ang dasal ko. To Miss Citadel, you are beautiful and always stay strong. Thank you for sharing your story. Sobrang dami ko realization because of your talk. Thank you maam...
I been there but only yourself can help you to get out of that situations i been there emotionally physically abuse but thanks God i am doing good now..

Ms. Toni, your channel serves as a platform for the voiceless and misunderstood. The stories and guests of your choice are crucial and heal us collectively one story at a time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. May God bless and guide you more to continue this legacy. For the current and next generations ahead. 🤍🫂
i love it when she said her name is Citadel- a fortress! matibay na sandalan. Minsan talaga kailangan natin bumalik sa kung sino tayo. know our worth. then we can stand up again. Praying for her healing. :)
My father is a former pastor, and a narcissist. I am glad that my mom, is out of their marriage though it's a long, sad journey. We grew up normalizing domestic violence sugar coated as "disiplina". I am grateful my mom and my siblings, and me are all healing, kahit minsan may relapse.. Laban lang palagi sa buhay. 🤍 I stan my mom for being brave. I cried so much from this episode. 🥹🤍
Ngayon ko pa narerealized na tama ung desisyon ko to get out from a toxic marriage almost 11 years ago kasi hndi na nakita ng mga anakko ung ganitong sitwasyon. Hndi na sila mas nasaktan makita ang ina nila na araw araw binubugbog ng ama nila.. i pray for everyone na dumadanas ng ganito na sana magkaron din sila ng lakas ng loob umalis o kumalas.. i suffered for 5 years of my life being a battered wife. Please, Wag kayo papayag sa ganon.
She has been through so much and nobody helped her. 😭 She is such a strong woman. God bless her. She is really broken but does not define her. 🙏 It was her childhood trauma that made her stay sa abusive relationship. I understand her, but her scars will always be there. I pray she will heal.
This is what Filipinos must understand & take into serious consideration. America & all other foreign lands are not land of milk & honey. I lived here Los Angeles for 22 years. It’s a life of keep going, swallow your pride & work like complaining is a no no. I am fortunate I work & still working in legit companies. Racial discrimination is prevalent. I used to be a bank manager & I started as an accounting clerk here in the USA . Worst my boss was the sister of my friend who encouraged me to come to USA. She treated me like shit… only because she probably thought here in the USA your being a manager is nothing. In my mind I knew I am starting from the bottom. My first day at work: my boss dropped dusty boxes in front of me & said here” file all of these” some Filipinos here are very condescending, specially those who came from A family with lack of values. Fortunately the owners of the company liked me& one of them I was maltreated. Eventually she got fired 😞.. but along the way I still had tough times. I came to USA alone with no family &. No relatives. Tough but God made it through. Whew…. My a Prayers is for Philippine government to provide good jobs enough to sustain a family. Toni thank you for your program that opens a path to share stories to open Filipinos “ eyes . USA is sometimes United Stress of America 😢
@DONTcareAnymore000 yes, she definitely needs help. She is in so much pain and trauma. I hope she is seeking help from professionals so she gets better. 😢 🙏
You are a strong woman Ms. Citadel! I pray that all women who are experiencing abuse may have the faith and courage like yours! Congratulations for your brandnew life! God bless you ❤️
So good to see a Filipino who hasn’t forgotten her mother tongue after living overseas. That aside, it is hard to speak up having been assaulted, but hopefully people gather the courage to speak up. This goes to any gender as anyone can be a victim.

Totoo iyong sinabi ni Ms. Citadel, Narcissist people wanna look good to other people pero pag wala na kawawa iyong ginagawan nila ng emotional and physical stress. Mahirap kumawala sa mga taong gnito, buti nalang very strong si Ms. Citadel. Sana magkaroon na siya ng peace of mind ❤❤❤🙏
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.. sana isama ito sa curriculum sa school. Dpat maging aware tau sa mga type of narcissists 💯 Sobrang talamak nila. Nakakasuklam.. How to avoid this? Good Parenting!!! Nasa upbringing bakit nagiging narcissist ang isang tao.
So many lessons na mapupulot sa kwento mo Ma'am Citadel. Lesson to younger generations, to always seek help, to always be mindful,be smart in choosing whom you will love, and whom you will trust. This is somewhat an eye opener to every young Citadel to never forget to love yourself
It happens often than we realized. I'm glad she shared her story so that others would feel comfortable sharing theirs. It's important to make an awareness about domestic violence. This is very inspiring, and may God continue to bless you!
Thank you Ms. Toni for featuring a story like this. It’s an open eyes to everyone who suffers abusive marriages! Yes to divorce here in the Philippines.❤ I salute you Ms. Citadel! More power and God bless you and your family!😍
I would like to see more stories like this. Please we need real people , real stories. Toni, your show is inspiring. Marami akong natutunan. I love your word of wisdom.
Thank you Ms Toni for guesting Citadel she touches a lot people of what had happened to her life. Citadel is a strong woman, courageous and blessed of what she is now. Thanks again. God bless 😇🙏
Omg... 1st time kung mauna sa nag like. Always nanood ng tonitalks. Ito talaga outlet ko everyweekends, sa ibat ibang kwento ng tao may napupukot na aral❤.
Im a battered wife too. Its true tikom tayo before kasi nga nakakahiya lalo na at naging pasaway ako sa nanay ko. Lumayo ako and I. Left my kids with him ang siste pati sila nakatilim ng lupit ng ama nila emotionally. Until now dala ko pa rin ang suklam sa kanya kahit patay na sya dko alam kung kelan ko sya mapapatawad. Im trying but the more I got depressed. Please pray for me. Salamat po 🙏
ang sakit ng interview na to . tumutulo ang luha ko nag durugo ang puso ko. isa din ako nakaranas ng domestic violence. na aalala ko lahat ng sakit habang napapnood ko ang interview na to💔
Grabe yung pinagdaanan ni Miss Citadel, walang babae ang deserve ng ganyang situation. Prayer for her healing and Lords guidance. Salamat sa pagbangon, paninindigan at pagshare ng story mo Miss Citadel💜 Mahigpit na yakap💜 Kudos Toni Talks💜💜💜
Hi Toni! Thank you for sharing Citadel’s story. Citadel, if you are reading this, I am so sorry for what you went through from your childhood until your marriage to your husband who abused you. Thank you for sharing your story. You are brave and I hope your children know how much you love them and how brave you are. It made me angry hearing what happened to you. None of which happened to me so as much as I want to say fight back you are right that the best we can do is be kind and understanding. Thank you for the raising awareness about domestic violence. It’s so important to seek help. I hope others can learn from your experience.
@@citadeljones4117 thank you for sharing ur story maam… 🫂 and prayers for u… My ex husband also is a narcissist I am verbally and emotionally abuse, knowing I am the one providing financially.

This platform of Toni Gonzaga really helps those who are watching and listening who can relate to get up and fight for their right and speak for their voice to be heard...salute to Ms Citadel's courage to tell her story and make it as an eye opener for those suffering from domestic abuse and the trust she gave to ToniTalks to be the channel to convey her message to the world. Congrats Ms Toni Gonzaga Direk Paul Soriano and the whole team...❤❤❤
Ms. Citadel, you live up to your name. You are a very strong woman. I know healing is a process but know that your testimony is a great help to many people. I know it is hard to trust a lot of people because of your past experiences but there's the Lord Jesus Christ of whom we could always Trust and would never betray us. Church people may betray us, other people may betray us but He will always be constant. Praying for you ms. Citadel.
hays grabe ang sakit sa dibdib ng story maam citadel tables turn ang nangyari sa life mo now ang maging successful ❤ Grabe talaga mga ofw ang saludo, God is good dahil sa lahat ng nangyari andto ka padin sa mundo maam, minsan ang unfair din talaga ng buhay ipaparanas sayo muna yung mga sakit panlalait tapos dun susubukin ang buhay mo hays. More power sayo maam. Blessings in this guise thin ang toni talks at na feature po ang story nyo ❤
I feel her. Ang hrap kumawala lalo n pg alam mo wla k nman tatakbuhan at wala ngmamahal sau. Pero pag nagkaroon k ng faith kay Lord makakawala ka sa isang relasyon n isang bangungot. C Lord lng pala ang kailangan natin at ibibigay nya ung tama tao para sa atin. ❤️🙏
Okay lang magmahal ng sobra pero women please know your worth and value. Women are beautiful, na deserve nyo yung genuine love and i-treat kayo ng tama. Thank you Mam Citadel for sharing your story. Its a reminder to everyone na despite sa mga pinagdaanan natin in the past, gaano man kadilim yun, laging my hope and reason to move forward. Just have faith na one day magbabago din yung situation na meron ka. God bless everyone ❤
I want to share my story but sometimes sharing your own story has an effect in your own life. I am very proud with you Ms. Cita ❤️ stay strong and keep inspiring people
Naging bukas Ang isip natin sa katotohanan n nangyare pl tlg ang ganitong sitwasyon.. Ma'am,you are truly an inspiration to us. May God always bless you. Sa kabila Ng pinagdaanan mo Ang ganda Ng balik sau Ng Panginoon.. Mabuhay ka!
This makes me cry..im very proud of you for standing up for yourself and your children..gusto ko kayong i hug ms. Citadel and by the way you are beautiful..lots of love from us here in New Jersey..i have shared your story to alot of my pinay friends here and hope it will raise awareness❤❤❤
I'm really touched, relate and cried with the story of Ms. Citadel, I'm so sorry with the cruelty you experienced with your ex husband, all woman doesn't deserve this kind of life. Better to fight, be strong and report to authority, then later file a devorced. We are so proud of you Citadel because you are strong and you fight for your life and for your children. Thanks for sharing your inspiring story!!!
It's really so inspiring to hear/encounter/read stories like yours Ma'am Citadel. Your life and what you went through in life gave me a new perspective . Never be afraid to accept that you are in need of help from God and from the right persons and authorities. Never allow yourself to be abused just because you are afraid that no one will care and love you except for your pretentious "loved one". Never dwell on your past to regain new life and a new future. And never be afraid to try to stand again even if it means that what you only have is yourself.
This is a heartfelt story that shows out of drought ful days, there’s still hope. Her voice is a symbol of strength and victory. Her life is a wonderful testimony and message to everyone to be bold enough to step out when respect and love is no longer served. GOD bless you and your family for sharing your story ✨💕
ang pinakamasakit sa lahat is nakilala pa ni Ms. Citadel yung mga lalaki sa church - a place where you think you’re safe. i’m roman catholic but if i were to be honest i dont practice it anymore since 2018. thank you for sharing your story mam.
The same like her.. I just really wanted to have a family.. A family that I can called mine.. But I've been praying for 12 and still waiting for it.. 😇
I was also a victim of domestic abuse, I also have PTSD & undergoing medications & therapy. Right now im waiting for the resolution of my filed VAWC case to my ex husband, i can relate my ex husband also do love bombing, he gave me lots of flowers courting me before, then nung naging mag asawa na kame i suffered abuse physically, psychologically, sexually, he is like a demon in a human body pag nagalet prang santo pag humingi ng tawad, thank u for this episode i am still on my healing process, hoping to meet you Ms. @citadel Ms. @toni
Narcistic personality syndrom. Ganyan din ang ex husband ko. Sobra din ang suffering ko for 3 years.😭😭😭😭. Para tuloy nag falshback ang mga naranasan ko😭😭😭😭. When I filed a divorce the social welfare . Di ko nakalimutan ang sinabi niya. Your decision is the best thing you did , because when still stay with him. You will be like him. You are a normal persob he is sick". Matagal ang process ng healing sabi ng doctor. It takes 3 years. At tama siya. I am thankful sa naging desisyon ko and I have a good life now. Thank God because He was there and he is always there for us.
Thanks for this episode...nakakaiyak..iba talaga kapag ngmahal ka ng narcissist. It will break your soul..mahirap makawala due to trauma bond. it's a very powerful story to aware other people that they truly exist😕 Always choose yourself and know that you will rise again💛
That's why I don't go to church anymore. I work in seminary. And i never imagined na sa pari ko mararanasan Yung pinakapanget na experience sa buhay ko.
yeah, even Boo Sanchez experienced to be molested by mismong pari that he looked up to b4..kaya kahit pari pa yan ay tao lang din yan at di natin basta2 fully bigyan ng trust natin, si Lord lang talaga ang perfect na pagkakatiwalaan natin.
Matthew 7:21 “ Not everyone who says to Me . Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven,but only the one who does the will of My Father who is in Heaven.”
Its a life long process PTSD,Ms Citadel... maam Thank you for sharing your story naispired ako ,babagin din ako at magpakatibay para sa mga anak ko thank you Ms Toni sa napa inspiring na interviewed .
Minsan kapag failure na sa love life focus na lang sarili at mga anak. Mindset ko ganito Kasi NASA 40's na ko, may trust issues na at masayang magisa, single and childless 😅 Malaya at Masaya 😅
Sobra naman pinag daanan nito nakakaiyak God bless sa lahat ng nagmahal lng ng todo ❤na minsan nalilimutan na Mahalin ang sarili ng dahil sa pagmamahal nato
You are such a strong woman, Ms. Citadel! All the pain you’ve been through and you never gave up! Such an inspiration! And not to forget to mention: You are beautiful! Wishing you all the happiness you deserve, for you and your children! ☺️

Parang gusto ko din magshare ng story pero nahihiya din ako 😅 Ako naman nakilala ako sa Antwerpen dahil sa ex husband na sinisiraan din ako but when i come to know the Lord here in Belgium na overcome ko na din naka move on na ako abuse physical ang mental is really killing me dahil sa kahihiyan at nawalan ka ng dangal sa sarili.Nagtatago at nagkukulong sa dahil may anak ako nagsikap akong bumangon now im free and healed and Revived in Jesus Name
Me too not battled before but my ex from Antwerp also pero ang dami nyang red flags at maraming babae i found out after our 4months relationship kumawala na ako dbale na hirap maka move on.
I feel really sorry about what happened to you Ms Citadel 🥺 on the other hand, it is what we tolerate. You've seen so many dark nights with him but you still chose to stay. Thank God you're able to release yourself now. God bless you mam! ❤
Lahat ng mga lalakeng nananakit ng asawa pare pareho ang sinasabi foreigner man o filipino "wala ng ibang magkakagusto sayo, ako lang" Wow! What a word "big word" pala nila ang mga katagang yan.. In the end sila ang talo, tayong mga babae ang.panalo.. kasi tayo, kayang kaya nating bumangon at tumayo muli s sarili nating mga paa #WomenEmpowerment 💪 #weareone on this battle... Good Job to Us single moms👌💕🥰
