Hello my name is Bessie Williams . I have been through a lot . I have chiari malformation and lupus .. All I want to do is to get my story out for someone can understand what I’ve been through and to help me . I been thru so much in life to the point I wanted to give up. In 2010 I was ganged raped and it tore my life up . Then in 2015 thinking I thought I found the man of my dreams I found a nightmare . I was tortured ever night in my apartment . He beat me, he poured water on me while I slept , made me sleep in closets . And then I got him put out . But one day as I was cleaning up the apartment he came and kicked my door in and beat me across the head with a wooden chair to the point it broke and gave her a concussion. I ran outside he trip me up and beat me with his fist while I was on the ground covering my face . I managed to get away when a group of boys jump on him . I think God was watching over me because he wanted me dead. He burned all my clothes and everything . And left me with nothing . Today I just wanted to share my story .
