When I was in college I allowed myself to remain in a relationship that proved to be abusive within the first 3 months.
I stayed in that relationship because I was insecure about my looks and what I had to offer to the world.
My abuser recognized my insecurities because I shared these things with him and he was able to use my pain as his ammunition.
It took me 3 long years to realize that I was worth more than what he offered me (which at the time I thought it was bearable because of his "status" on campus).
I wrote a book about that 3 year relationship with hopes that my experiences will help the next college aged girl realize her worth and love her abusive relationship OR avoid the abusive relationship all together.
The book is coming soon..............
A sneak peak into my book - Abused: A College Love Story Between 2008 and 2011, I was in an abusive relationship with a young man who had two sides to him and I was "special" enough to know both sides. This book will discuss in detail the abuse I received for 3 years. The abuse included physical, mental and emotional. I'll go into detail about everything little thing that I went thru, ultimately leading up to my breaking point and the rape.
Congratulations on the complete new person and the book. Im proud that you have the strength to help other women. Can't wait for the next project. Peace DM
