Yve Gibney had been married to her husband for 18 years when she made the shocking discovery on Facebook that he'd married another woman while working abroad.
If that wasn't bad enough he falsified documents to get married in the first place and then falsified financial statements that affected Yve's divorce settlement.
In a quest for justice, Yve has encountered the unfairness of legal battles between couples and fought to get her ex-husband charged for bigamy.
In an effort to get her voice out there and be the voice for other women at the mercy of coercive control, Yve has written a book about her experience called Face of a Bigamist 👉 http://bit.ly/faceofabigamist_book
This harrowing and heartbreaking tale sounds like it should be from a movie or TV drama series. This is the real-life of a woman who has fought for justice for her and her sons after the fall-out from the unnecessary deception.
The saddest part of this story is it would've taken just 8 words to change the course of this story - "I've met someone else and want a divorce."
But Yve's ex-husband chose to lead a lavish lifestyle with his new bigamous bride in Oman he played the mental health and impoverished card to Yve who stayed awake at night worrying about the man she thought she would love forever.
Hear this extraordinary story of an extravagant duplicitous life underpinned by a web of lies that destroyed family ties forever, cost tens of thousands in legal fees and left mental scars for all involved.
