Sleeping with the Enemy | LT ✔️
This story is about a topic that is very sensitive but very prevalent in today's society. So often we read or hear about domestic violence and it's almost always violence against women but what is constantly swept under the rug is violence against men. Warning: This story may cause readers to experience a wide range of emotions especially if it's personal. Believe me, I understand because I was a victim of domestic abuse so it's touchy for me too and my intention is not for anyone to relive the pain but to simply bring awareness to the issue. ❤️Complete
