Chloe San Jose Reflects on Her Journey: From Domestic Violence to Empowerment
CHLOE SAN JOSE – Content creator Chloe San Jose shares her powerful story of resilience and strength in the aftermath of domestic violence.
In a heartfelt conversation with Toni Gonzaga Studio, content creator Chloe Anjeleigh San Jose recently talked about her difficult path from tragedy to resilience. Chloe talked about the severe hardships she had as a teenager, such as her encounters with domestic abuse and the impact it had on her mental health.
“I experienced po domestic violence,” she revealed, giving a glimpse into the pain she endured. Although she did not delve into specifics, Chloe described how both physical and verbal abuse took a heavy toll on her emotional well-being. “Kaya po noong 16, gusto ko na talagang umalis po. Pero since minor po ako, I couldn’t. So, naghintay pa po ako ng two years mag-18 para po makaalis po ko,” she added, reflecting on how powerless she felt until she could legally leave.
In order to avoid spending time at home during her high school years in Australia, Chloe invested herself into her studies and extracurricular activities. As life at home grew increasingly challenging, she threw herself into these outlets.
Her realization that she needed to leave for her own mental health during a furious family quarrel over dinner was a key turning point in her life. Chloe tried to make amends with her mother, but their attempts frequently resulted in more arguments, which led to a destructive cycle that she could not stand.
“Nagkausap naman po kami, nag-try, pero hindi po talaga nag-work. Parang pattern na po ganoon pa rin,” she explained. Realizing that the relationship wasn’t improving, she decided to leave the environment for her own well-being. For seven months, she found refuge at her best friend’s house, where she stayed until she completed her high school education.
As promised, Chloe later came back with her teenage sister, intent on shielding her from the same toxic atmosphere. As she reflected on her journey, Chloe said that her tough history is what gave her the strength and perseverance that many people misinterpret. As she explained how her traumatic experiences molded her strong character today, she stated, “Kaya po siguro iyon nami-misunderstood ‘yung tapang ko po kasi nga po they don’t know naman what happened sa early childhood ko po.”
