10. talk about being triggered
Thu Sep 27, 2018, 08:57 PM
Sep 2018

memory flashes.

A disembodied scream coming from somewhere....oh, that's me.
Me snapping to attention after the beating stopped, as he sat on the floor with his head in my lap crying.
My face bloodied, my pants wet because I lost my bladder during the beating.
Getting up from the chair very cool and collected telling him I need to clean myself up. It's OK, I just need to clean myself up.
Walking out the front door and hoping he doesn't follow.

My parents coming to the hospital to pick me up, walking right past me because he beat me so bad they didn't recognize me.
