A/N: This story contains domestic abuse. There will be triggering content. I will provide trigger warnings, but please do not read this if it could cause you harm.
A large piece of my story is in this, so please be kind. Domestic abuse is real and the truth of it is horrible. Not every situation is the same, but hopefully I can show you the basic framework of an unhealthy relationship. 
I feel like Wattpad romanticizes red flags too much, so hopefully I can provide some realistic standards through this story. 
I'm writing this story as a healing exercise, so I am a part of it. This story is incredibly important to me. Thank you so much for considering it. If you choose to read on, I hope you enjoy it.

My dms are always open if you need someone to talk with. Don't be afraid to message me. There were times in my life where all I needed was someone to talk with and I had no one. I want to be there for people when they have no one to turn to.
