From a survivor: I watched a documentary tonight. One that helped saved my life almost 4 years ago. And as thankful as I am to be here today I know in so many ways I am still not ok. I am taking the steps to be ok but some times I wonder if I ever will be.
My response: if it saved your life, it could save another. I would like to post it in a blog along with any notes you have.
Survivor: It’s called American Murder: Gabby Petito. It’s a documentary of her being manipulated and ultimately abused and I knew her personally so I followed her story before it became famous and unfortunately she was found murdered right around the time I checked myself into the hospital and was learning of my ex’s manipulation and knew I had to get the f^€k out but never saw him asking for a divorce.
Her death opened my eyes to it being “ok” to want/need to leave to save myself from abuse.
That I deserved better.
