My son got caught in the cross fire. He almost got hit and I said to myself, if you’re not gonna leave for yourself, leave for your son. I sold my engagement ring to pay for an attorney to get an order of protection, and we went to The Retreat, to begin to heal.
I was scared I couldn’t live without him. But once he was gone, I realized I could provide for my family. I was better off without him. I told him the day I leave you is forever.
Someone once told my daughter that when a boy is mean to you, it means he likes you. But I say to them, there is never a time when someone being mean to you is love. Ever. There is never a time when someone hurting you translates to love.
