My story – Erica Ridnour

,on March 3rd 2021 I was attacked by my ex of years 70 times both my main arteries were stabbed as well as my juggluar an my right eye. I also had a broken neck frackered clavicle an 2 strokes also a brain injury an as lot more but I had to learn how to eat walk an talk again I suffer with anxiety PTSD night tares an depression. My ex died that day by stabbing him self in the neck. I died 4 times. It was honestly the most scariest thing I’ve been through in my life watching my ex stab him self while he’s telling me he loves me an wanting to get married. I remember exactly what happened an that sucks cuz I also have to look in a mirror an be reminded about that day an I hate it I’m still having a hard time still with alot of things. But I’m just very lucky I survived all this.
