“This night be a little graphic but I just want to let everyone know
that I am okay. I am a survivor of domestic violence with a boy I dated
for 8 months.
I really thought everything was fine but he
constantly questioned me about cheating and flirting. Nonsense. I never
looked at someone the way he looked at me. Thought I loved this boy. How
can someone that ‘loves’ me do this to me? The scars on my chest are
way worse and extend down to my right nipple, completely scarred.
The skin on my shoulder has been completely skinned. And i have
bruising on my rib cage, neck, and my muscles. I was kicked out of a
moving vehicle, then beaten and dragged, as I blacked out and was left
lying there in my own puddle of blood. Doctors said I could have died if
not made it when I did. I am so blessed and beyond lucky to be alive
and have so much support from friends, family, and strangers.
As I try to recover I ask to please keep me in your prayers. I have
to wear a neck brace for 3-4 weeks, an arm cast and I can barely walk
for now. Thank you for all the love. I hope to be an inspiration to
women and anyone involved in domestic violence.”
