#spousal
for all the times my consent didn't matter to you. for all the times you told me that since we're in a relationship I should want to have *** with you. for all the times I had to hide in the bathroom crying while looking at all the red marks and the bruises. for all the nights I stayed up trying to catch my breath while you were sleeping beside me. for all the times I cried during an act that was supposed to be intimate. for all the times you grabbed me and said "please, baby, please? I love you" for all the times you saw me crying because of the random man who tried to grab me on the streets. for all the times I told you about my PTSD I suffered due to childhood ****** abuse. for all the times you took advantage of me. for all the times you hurt me, I am now going to conquer. you have made me suffer through another type of abuse, an abuse that many people don't realize real. because of you, I suffered through domestic violence/marital **** I am not a victim, I am a survivor.
