It’s DV Awareness month. About 4 years ago I started a relationship with a man almost 10 years older than me, a man who preyed on my innocence, nativity, and vulnerability. This man groomed me to be who he wanted, isolated me from my friends and family, and abused me emotionally, physically, and sexually. I tried calling the cops once, he played phone games with the police so they wouldn’t take the call seriously and then turned it on me when they arrived, even though you could smell his spit on me and see I was roughed around they put me in the back of the car. I never reported anything he did to me again. I tried to leave multiple times but went back, and each time I had family worsening the situation by doing what the thought was best, either leaving me to be further isolated or unknowingly display the same toxicity when telling me how stupid I was for staying and other things like that. I understand they didn’t know better and that it was hard for them, but to my friends and family out there that left me alone or berated me, you didn’t help me leave. You didn’t help at all. And I never expressed that until now. I’m sorry if this is how you find out how I felt/feel but it’s weighed on me even now. I can honestly say that Jennifer is one of the only people I can say was there for me, and I knew she would be, she never left me and she never *blamed* me or gave validation to the way he made me feel about myself. My ex also helped me a lot, in fact he helped me leave but the damage from the abusive relationship damaged the next relationship I was in. My mental illness spiraled. I tried to pretend like I was completely over it but I wasn’t, and I’m still not. A couple weeks ago I had a panic attack because I thought my abusive ex was pulling into my driveway until I realized it was just food delivery for my cousin. It’s been 3 yrs since we’ve had any contact and it still sent me into a state of terror and fear thinking that he for some reason was coming for me. But I’m working on it. The best decision I’ve ever made was leaving the abuse for good. I love myself, I learn to a little more each day. I’m a survivor. And I’m sharing my story. #dvam #dvam2018 #healing https://www.instagram.com/p/BpCdKJfFgmQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8s5pmk9pwup8
