While my friends were having the time of their lives in college, I was holding everything in, because I couldn’t tell them my boyfriend beat me and was hooked on heroin. I hated to feel any pity from anyone, or face embarrassment. Truthfully, I never said anything because I wanted to protect Tyshawn. I was so worried about what people would think about him more than I worried about myself.
thank god she’s out of that abusive relationship now
