  • Why Do We Stay? Pt. 3

    E molded me into a submissive slave. He taught me early on, in the friendship stage, not to argue with him. If I, or anyone for that matter, had a differing opinion, or dared to tell him he was wrong about something, he would come back with ‘It’s because I’m a man, isn’t it?!’, or…

  • Why Do We Stay? Pt.2

    I was never sexually attracted to E, something he was aware of because he seemed to be very attracted to me. E needed to remedy that, so that he could feel like I wanted him. His method was to shame me. It started with shaming me for having adult toys. He did such a good…

  • Why Do We Stay?

    This series takes a lot out of me, which is why I haven’t been consistent. Part of me just wanted to move on from it, but then I kept hearing people talk about the Sean Combs trial. People, like Bill Maher seem to think leaving an abusive situation is easy. As easy as calling the…

  • Is This You?

    Have you ever had someone be able to mold you into whoever they wanted you to be? Have you ever been so numb, so dead inside, that you believed whatever someone else told you, about yourself? I certainly hope not, but since these things are true for me, I know it’s likely someone else is…

  • Lies We Tell Ourselves

    Not too long ago I was talking to a loved one, and they were talking about how they don’t want to complain about being raped, because it wasn’t violent. They had no broken bones, no bruises. I’ve been there, feeling ashamed, feeling guilty that others were raped and left physically broken, while I was only…

  • Truth-tellers

    A few months ago, I heard a woman talk about how women are truth-tellers. The way she was talking made it seem that if you have a vagina, you are automatically a truthful person. More people, than I care to admit, believe this. I started taking notice when #MeToo was going on. Here are the…

  • When I was younger, I was dating this guy that was a bit off. He enjoyed yelling at me, and blaming me for everything. He enjoyed giving me visible hickeys, (I protested every time) and sending me out, as if he was claiming me as his property. One night, he drugged me. That night, he…
