I never thought it would happen to me. I always thought I was too smart, too strong, too independent to fall victim to a toxic relationship. But love has a funny way of blinding us to the truth.
It started out innocently enough. I met Xavier at a party, and we hit it off right away. He was charming, funny, and seemed to genuinely care about me. We started dating, and I was swept off my feet.
But as time went on, I started to see a darker side of Xavier. He was possessive, jealous, and controlling. He would call me constantly, demanding to know where I was and who I was with. He would get angry if I didn't respond to his messages right away, accusing me of cheating on him.
I tried to ignore the warning signs, hoping that things would get better. But they only got worse. Xavier became increasingly violent and abusive, both physically and emotionally. I felt trapped and alone, unable to reach out to anyone for help.
Looking back, I realize that staying with Xavier was my biggest mistake. But at the time, I couldn't see a way out. It took me years to break free from his grasp and start over, but I did it with my friend's help, my only friend, Alisha. And now, I want to share my story with others in the hopes that it will help them avoid making the same mistake I did.
This is the story of my biggest mistake. A story of love, loss, and redemption.
