To his new girl,

***Trigger warning: abuse, suicide***

I honestly hope that you're happy and that he treats you better than he did me. I hope you always feel safe. I hope you aren't afraid to leave if you feel like leaving someday. He was amazing when we started dating, but after a few months it was like someone flipped a switch in him somewhere. It started with call after call every time I didn't text back fast enough when we weren't together and slowly turned into arm grabbing and a serious need for control. My friends tried to tell me to get out, but I didn't listen. "He just cares." "He has a bad home life." "His parents have basically disowned him" "He's just afraid I'll abandon him like everyone else has." I was always making excuses. By the time I realized I needed out, it was too late. It turned into him making sure I knew he was serious about killing himself every time I tried to leave. Swallowing a bottle of pills...holding glass to his own throat...getting a knife out of the drawer and me throwing myself onto his back to knock it out of his hands making the situation more dangerous for both of us. It's been 5 years and I'm still "the bad guy" because I didn't tell anybody else what I put up with...I had to call the police and get him sent to a mental health hospital in able to get out without worrying about him committing suicide and that's all people see. I haven't really worried much about what people thought the last few years because I've been away from it, but then I came across you in my "people you may know" and saw that you were with him and expecting a baby. I'm not a good Christian and I don't go to church but I am praying for you and that little boy. I'm praying that my ex is a changed man and that you're both safe with him. I hope he has grown out of his anger and posessive behavior and that he treats you like the queen I'm sure you are. 👑 I hope that he complains about me and how we ended...that way if you do find yourself needing out in the future you know my name to reach out for some help.

This is beautiful that you only want the best for her some women can be bitter no matter what the man put them thru but you you actually feel for her and I hope she never have to experience what you did! And who cares what others think about you, you had to do what you had to do to escape from him!! Live life and be happy love 💕
