As a teenager I thought I fell in love with a boy. He was good till he wasn’t. He hit me for the first time and said he was sorry and I’ll never do it again till the next time. After being hit and abused he would say if you didn’t make me angry I wouldn’t hit you. I was even rap*%$ and beaten by him. I survived 10 yrs with this man till I decided to leave. Why did it take so long because he would say you’re mine if I can’t have you nobody can if you try to leave I will unalive you.
