Just Because They Didn't Hit You

juliannabbey:

A year ago today I was living with a man who would scream at me until 5am multiple times a week, someone who would physically restrain me when I tried to leave the apartment. If I made it out to the parking lot he’d chase me down, block the car door, or stand behind my car so I couldn’t leave. He’d get drunk and physical, and I’d lock myself in the bathroom. He’d pressure me into sex when I didn’t want to; if I didn’t give in I knew it was going to be a scary night. I left him 11 months ago, I’m kicking life’s ass, and am the happiest I’ve ever been. :)

Congrats JuliannAbby :) Everyone deserves happiness and peace of mind. So proud you pulled yourself out of a negative situation.
