I was in a two year abusive relationship.

Where at the end he tried to kill me by holding a knife to my neck…

If It Weren’t For My Son

If it wasn’t for my teenage son coming home early the same day, from his dad’s, and my abuser told my son he was gonna kill me tonight.

He took the knife from my neck and wrestling with him trying get away he cut me on my wrist.

Took eight stitches that’s when I said I got get away from him.

Before He Tried to Kill Me

Leading up to that incident he broke my ribs, fractured nose, countless bruising, punched me in the face, drugged down hallway by my hair.

Many more over the years I spent with him. I’ll never forget the look in his eyes and the smirk on his face when I told him I was scared of him.

Time to Move On from Anonymous Survivor

It’s been over a year now since this happened in 2024. Now he has ankle monitor on but no court date.

I don’t want to relive the abuse. I have PTSD bad, depression, anxiety, trying get my confidence up.

All I wanted was him love me and my family didn’t support me so I kept taking him back. Not anymore.

Don’t give it another chance, a third chance, a ninth chance. It only gets worse and you got to love yourself.

If it weren’t for the podcast, I probably wouldn’t be here. Your episodes have inspired me
Thank you ❤❤
