23-YEAR-OLD Kayla Hayes has risen to overcome domestic abuse, and now she fights and advocates for other women who don-t have a voice. Kayla was 18 when her ex-boyfriend bit off 85% of her lip in an act of revenge. She was rushed to hospital but doctors were unable to reattach her lip. With over 350 stitches on her face, Kayla didn-t recognise herself and she completely lost her sense of identity. She told Truly: -I felt like a monster with such big scars over my face. Over the past five years, Kayla has been on a physical and emotional journey to heal the scars left behind by this tragedy. Her mom, Jamie, said: -It-s hard knowing that this is the life that was chosen for Kayla by someone else. But what she has done with this reality is amazing. - Kayla decided to wear her scars as wings, partnering with author Alisa Divine to share her story. Through speaking openly about her experience, Kayla raises awareness around domestic violence and brings about justice for others

Sweetie you-re so beautiful, you-ve got this shine about you. When you look in the mirror don-t think about what he did to you. Think about what YOU did for YOU. You survived, you-re thriving, you-re helping others find their way out of abusive relationship and for that reason alone you are incredibly beautiful to me.
That-s not a scar that-s a battle wound. You fought and you survived. I-m so proud of you.

This one hit me hard. I too am a survivor of DV, I was also bitten by my ex. Nowhere near as awful as you, but I have a deep scar on the left side of my chest. My ex was in a drunken rage and lashed out. Took a large chunk out of my chest near my armpit. This brought up a lot of emotions, but I thank you for reminding me that I'm not alone. Sending love -

In all this, women have to be careful how they treat men. Some of my -exes- have been super vicious and cold to me at the end. One bad mouthed me and ruined my name. Now, I never did anything, I let it go. But when one's new husband died in a car accident, I just didn't care.

You are literally the most beautiful person I've ever seen. Your beauty shined right through the screen of my phone. Keep fighting girlfriend. you bring a lot of peace and hope to a lot of people, and your Battle scars are absolutely perfect and beautiful.

Kayla you are beautiful inside and out! Your story will help other victims of abuse so thank you for coming forward with it. Your life partner will not see the outer scars and will love you for all that you are and for what you have been through.

One question. It says Drs were unable to reattach her lip, but in the pictures it looks like her lips are still there and fine. The scar is around her lips. ? Any ideas. Also this girl is a true inspiration and just lovely. You go girl!

I-m just in awe how these lovely women I-ve been watching make such an amazing recovery. Thank God for the plastic surgeons and all the surgical staff who can make such a difference. You look beautiful -

You-re beautiful and you are amazing! I-m so happy you are speaking up about domestic violence, no one should ever have to go through what you have experienced. Thank you for sharing your story.

What a freaking CRAZY story! I swear, you NEVER really know how monstrous a person is. I'm glad she survived. She is still beautiful, and I'm glad she is using her experience to help others!
reply

You are amazing and beautiful although you have a scar. your beauty and sparkle in your eyes and also your beautiful eyes and face fade that scar girl. Love your face!
reply

Never meet up with your ex especially if you ended on bad terms. I have met up with my ex so many times after we broke up and never realized how dangerous it was.
reply

I hope that psychotic ex is never released from prison! If he-s capable of doing that, he is definitely capable of killing someone! Stop him before someone dies!

Never meet up to talk. They ask to meet up just to talk. You say no. I swear I see this all the time. it's always that one last, -let's meet up just to talk. -
reply

I still thinks she's stunning. Having been born with morphea which has destroyed the right hand side. Of my face. But I ca t imagine what she's going through
reply

No one should suffer abuse like this. this is really sad and he should get life behind bars
Domestic violence needs higher punishments!

reply

Wow, that-s pathetic how hard he failed at making you ugly, I genuinely think that you are really pretty, before and after what he did
reply

I know this is a superficial thing to say, but that monster did not take her beauty from her at all. She is just stunning!
reply

You are still beautiful, not only on the outside but on the inside as well. Please continue to let your light shine.
reply

Awareness of / about domestic violence is something that should be learned more in schools and taught more.
reply

I hope your ex is severely punished but know you are still very pretty but your character is more beautiful.
reply

Wow, amazing story and still beautiful. So sorry this happened but glad she was able to pull through
