‘It was an accident,’ he said. He didn’t mean to do it; I forced him, I provoked him. I should have kept my distance, my mouth shut, I should have shut up when I was told. I should have stopped struggling; I should have calmed down.

It’s all so simple; the whole thing is easier when I cooperate. Believe me, please, it’s not his fault, he honestly didn’t mean to, and he’ll never do it again. I caused it, it’s my fault, and sadly, I am safe with him.

Ptsd is a predominant outcome due to domestic abuse. Stop saying, ‘I should have’ and find someone, something, who supports, ‘I should have.’

I’m here for you, we all love you, and together we will find a new path.
