Silenced by Fear
Intro: The theory says that the majority can silence the minority. I was the minority and he was my majority. My fear silenced me. Everything . . . that is what he seemed to know and I let his knowledge control me. I belonged to him, in my mind, literally.
He raised his fist, bashed my cheek, broke my jaw and here I am. I am alive; I am alone; I am happy. There are few, who were in my situation, that will ever say those words: happy and alone. There are few of us that escape the morbid love of an abusive relationship; most die but I didn’t.
I remember the first day I met him. I wanted him.
