He gave me everything I thought I wanted gifts, attention, love. He never said no. He was charming, caring, and impossible to resist. But behind the smiles and devotion was a darkness I didn’t see at first a chokehold on my heart, jealousy that turned violent, and silence that punished me more than words ever could.In this raw and intimate memoir, I take you through the highs and lows of loving someone who had the power to give and take everything. From the dizzying allure of his charm to the suffocating grip of control, I share the struggle, the heartbreak, and the courage it took to reclaim my freedom and self-worth.This is a story about love, illusions, and the lessons we learn when we realize that true love begins with loving ourselves.
