Jasmine’s Fight to Break Free from Abuse

 

Hey, I’m Jasmine. Man, I never thought I’d end up where I did. My boyfriend started off sweet, real caring—but after a while, things flipped. It wasn’t just fights — it was the way he looked at me, the control, the way I couldn’t say "no" to stuff or see my friends.

One night, things got ugly real quick. He pushed me against the wall, yelling I was nothing without him. I froze. I stayed for months after that, thinking maybe he’d change. Spoiler: He didn’t.

I finally reached out to a friend who handed me the number to a DV hotline. That call gave me the strength to make a plan — to find safety, and yeah, to believe in myself again. Now, I’m rebuilding. Trust ain’t easy, but it’s happening.

To anyone going through the same hell—there’s a way out. You don’t have to stay silent.
