In September 2023 I ended my 6 year relationship after the second incidence of DV where I was left with multiple bruises and contusions. I had made the mistake of staying after the first time but promised myself if he was lying and it happened again, I’d be done. I have a tendency to see the potential of a person rather than who they are. After the break up, he lived in the house we shared for 1mo and made my life hell. Verbal abuse, manipulation of the kids, and on and on. 🧵
