23-year-old Fidal Robinson (pictured) attacked the youth worker with a glass jug, chair, television, a pair of scissors and a bread knife last year and was sentenced to 15 years in prison
Robinson, from Monsall, Manchester, was sentenced to 15 years in prison at Manchester Crown Court and was also given a lifetime restraining order meaning he cannot contact Ms Herbert.
The youth worker told police: 'The incident left me feeling broken and I am not the same person.
'I have experienced a roller coaster of emotions and am angry, upset and frustrated.
'I am receiving support from a mental health team and am taking anti-depressants and hope to start therapy soon.
'I may be left with permanent scarring to my face which reminds me of the ordeal every time I look in the mirror.
'I have lost confidence going out in public and may never regain full use of my left arm causing me problems cooking and have moved back in with my foster parents, making me feel even more like I have lost my independence.'
The pair had begun a relationship after meeting on Snapchat but the behaviour of Robinson soon turned violent, with Ms Herbert describing him as an 'immature egoist'.
Robinson, who has a lengthy criminal record which includes robbery, attacks on prison staff and an assault on his own mother in 2011, would turn abusive if Ms Herbert made plans to go out in the evening.
