I vowed to Never be with anyone violent or abusive again! Just to turn around and be drugged and raped, sodomized, tortured for hours by a family member and left for dead in a ditch… Fought to survive that and Years later working in law enforcement to meet and marry a coworker who became mentally unstable and my recent last abuser I thought I wouldn’t escape! For only a year and 10 months but felt like several years, of abuse. Terrible temper, violent, breaking things and hurting the animals and me. The worst part was the cops not believing me until months down the road! After almost killing me and threaten me , bruised ribs, throwing hot coffee in my face at work. Refuse to stop stalking me.
