my defining moment is... I was in an abusive relationship for almost a year. One night he told me that he wasn't going to let me leave alive. He went downstairs and got a knife.
I climbed onto a 2nd story roof and fell onto the ground. I fractured my back and pelvis, but it saved my life. I'm thankful that I am free from him at last, I can be happy and strong. And I finally feel loved again...not the kind that hurts, either.
