My downfall was plain ignorance. I was young and stupid, and my first bf groomed me to be his victim for years...


Certain red flags stood out, and I fought against them tooth and nail, (like trying to dictate my wardrobe and friends) but I chalked it up to him being insecure, I didn't know what was waiting for me...

If I had experience to compare him to, I would've run much sooner.


I honestly didn't know how bad it was until it literally hit me in the face.

And that's when I finally ran.

I can't speak for others though...
