psa: there’s been a lot of hate on this book and tbh i started this two years ago and my writing has obviously advanced since then but i’ll rewrite it once i’m finished. anyways here want i wanted to say, bruised does not romanticize abuse, that is not the point i am trying to get across. The book yes is fictional and many things are over exaggerated and most of this fucked up shit doesn’t happen in real life but i am describing a real life inner war one has with themselves when in this position. it is not easy to walk away from an abusive relationship, some can’t even leave a toxic one because of emotions and desires. if you have not been in the position you can not understand how hard it is the walk away. not everyone has that self confidence and strength to leave even when placed in a bad situation because they believe they can change or that the good times outweigh the bad and will put up with it because they fear letting go of something that could potentially turn into something great. i do not support abusive or toxic relationships but speaking from experience this shit fucks with your mind and you’re trapped mentally and emotionally.
