This is a journal-like story about a young man named Oliver Wright in New York City beginning in 1988. The story contains graphic depictions of violence, drug abuse, swearing, hallucinations, and probably inaccurate representations of mental illnesses or love. Our protagonist attempts to carry on with his misdeeds while trying to mask himself to keep up appearances. This, however, tends to be spoiled due to the fact that he works as both a newspaper editor and a detective. He explores who he is and figures out things about himself.

Trauma Ruined My LIfe (The Real-Life Journal Of An Abuser)

17 parts Complete Mature

It was October 2023, and my now-ex-fiance had moved out of our trailer for good. I decided to end our relationship and thought I had emotionally moved on from them. I was wrong-dead wrong. What followed them moving out was something I could not have ever thought to experience. I began to experience extreme mood swings, controlling behavior, self-esteem issues, and a new-found addiction to alcohol. This was just the tip of the iceberg, as I was constantly flirting with suicide on a daily basis. I could not begin to even tell you about how I went through an emo phase, a "man hoe" phase, and multiple other phases as well due to my deteriorating mental health. I began to document my everyday life after our split through two separate journals over a twelve-month span. This is the true tale of how a breakup brought me to the realization that I was an abuser and that I became the same monster that I swore not to become as a kid. This is how trauma ruined my life, and how it will ruin yours too.
