This is a non-fiction, autobiographical account of my first boyfriend, and the abuses I endured at his hands.

Tying in my experiences growing up in a cult and a rocky history with toxic family members, I explore the reasons why I accepted the violence I experienced, how it affected my own child, and how we overcame it.All Rights Reserved

An Unforeseen Love by BeccaSteele1

When all she knows is abuse, abandonment, heartache, pain, and fear can anyone make her feel safe again? What happens when her Knight in shinning armor is just a nerd who loves video games and wants to nothing more than to make her every wish, hope, and dream come true? Will she give him a chance? Or will she think that she needs to protect herself and never let another man hurt her ever again. Throughout the book I will be telling the story of events that happened from each characters point of view to hopefully give you some more insight on what each character is going through. The main part of this book is based off of my current relationship. Some of the events are made up and not fully true. I hope that you enjoy it and if you read it awesome if not I understand this is my first attempt at writing a book so please be kind.

Love Square || BOYxBOYxBOYxBOY ✔️ by kelliclashton2

Four boys. A tangled web of unrequited feelings. Shifting loyalties. Dubious decisions. Love isn't just messy... it's absolute chaos. Brace yourself for drama, questionable choices, and more than a little heat. [Contains lots of smut, some threesomes & foursomes, and touches on mental health and abuse]

Hurtless (BL) by Sammyjams02

PSA: This story isn't meant for the feign of heart. It may be triggering in many ways. It deals with physical and emotional abuse, depression, self harm, suicide idealization, and many more possible triggering things. Stand alone, but part of the Better With You World.

𝜗ৎ🧸𝑻𝑬𝑫𝑫𝒀 𝑩𝑬𝑨𝑹🧸𝜗ৎ He used to call me his Teddy Bear. Soft. Gentle. Huggable. But even the softest things tear when pulled too hard. I folded his shirt the way he liked. Left the perfume he used in the drawer, untouched. I still placed his slippers next to mine. Even after he started coming home with someone else's scent. Even after he began shouting instead of kissing. "You'll never leave me," he laughed once, drunk off whiskey and ego, after throwing a bottle at the wall. "You're too scared to be alone." Maybe I was. But I was more scared of the mess. I like things clean. I like things in place. And he... was starting to feel like trash. ✴𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐕𝐄𝐓 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍✴ # 4 -ediyoursna
