I was friends with him for 12 years! I knew him since I was a teenager, I trusted him. I dated him for the last 3 years and he ruined me as a person. I was such a kind and caring person now I have nightmares of the abuse, I can’t hold a job because my ptsd is so bad, and I am so afraid of him. He took every ounce of love I have for myself and killed it. He chased me with weapons, he has held them to me, he made me feel alone. He use to tell me “your family wouldn’t care if I killed you.” I still think that is true to this day. He is getting out of jail any-day now and I don’t have the money to relocate me and my kids.
