Breaking the Silence: My Journey from Love Bombing to Survival by Desiree

I’m Desiree, I met this dude sweet as can be so I thought the love bombing was just a sign. I was beaten for 8 months straight but it wasn’t til Nov 18 2022 that I was beaten an inch away from death, stuck in a hospital bed not able to move my jaw, my head was swollen I had bruises from head to toe literally. What crazy is people seen me and what he would do in public and it was like everyone was okay with it. Others who are bystanders YOU COULD BE SAVING SOMEONES LIFE IF YOU CALL 911, remain anonymous but just say something because if it wasn’t for the Good Samaritan that hid me til the ambulance and officers showed up. I had the doctors all shocked I was alive but god gave me another chance. Never be afraid to leave
