TW:Domestic Abuse

#lemon8diarychallenge

February 24th 2022 I met the worst person of my life , His Name Is Gary Michael Anthony Williams , The relationship started off normal before his bad side came out. The abuse started rolling in , the first thing he did was in the first picture he uppercutted me and then picked me up by my neck and strangled me . Then it was good for a little bit then he went to prison, He got out of prison and a week later he ripped my septum piercing and also hitting my nose causing my eye to black . Then it was stuff like just strangling me acouple times till I’ve passed out. Fast Forward to July 19th 2023 just a few days before my bday we got into An arguement , He decided he was gonna put a knife to my neck and told me he would kill me , I begged him not to, Then he decided he would attempt to take his own life starting to cut his wrist in front of me , Then he told me stay in the room while he went a took a bunch of pills , I ended up waking up my mom , I called 911 while she’s staying attentive to him , 911 came he was lifeless outside my home , The police & paramedics ask my what happened I told them that he took pills I was uncertain on how many he took, He went to the emergency room of my choice cause he obviously couldn’t speak for him self. He ended surviving & going to a mental hospital, He called me on my birthday and wished me a happy birthday, I felt relieved that he made it and was ok. Now here comes his birthday he woke up and started being crazy, His neice called my phone asking to wish him a happy birthday and I said he wasn’t in the right state of mind and is not touching my phone she got mad and so did he , He decided to swipe everything off my dresser candles perfume bottles I had some obituary’s on my dresser as well from passed loved ones all of my stuff was on the floor , I made him pick up the obituary’s , but all my other stuff was broken, Then he took all my clothes threw them in a garbage can , He ripped my phone out my hand took the case off and threw my phone at the garage , my phone was completely damaged. He ended up going with family for his birthday and had me come with him. He got drunk and high , ended up overdoing it and started throwing up everywhere, Later on in the summer time the abuse got worse , he would hit me for no reason strangle me he’s stomped on my ribs , he dragged me me inside and took me to the basement while having me by my throat and then ended up strangling me till I passed out , My mom called the police he didn’t answer for them , My mom came to the door asking where I am and he faked like he was in the shower while I’m downstairs unconscious, When I woke up I stayed down there for a little bit , When I went back upstairs he was making dinner DINNER ….. Fast forward my mom ended up leaving and moving to a different state not knowing what I was going through really cause he wouldn’t really let me speak to her. We got our own place in November not even a month later we was at work he told me he was cheating on me I kept a poker face while we was working , We got home started arguing about it , I raised my voice at him he grabbed me by my neck and carried me into the room started strangling me , I slipped my fingers underneath his grip to get him off of me , He ended up punching me in my nose/eye area after that he decided he was gonna take a walk , When he got back he was normal like nothing ever happened, I ended up trying to take a bunch of pills November 29th 2023 , he called my mom saying I’m tripping and she called the police , the police came and got me to bring me to a hospital so I could self admit my self into the hospital, They ended up doing a CT scan of my face to make sure nothing was broken, They came back 45 minutes later into the room telling me my nose was broken , I told them I got into a fight . Another doctor told me I got lucky cause I could have gone blind , They thought I got hit with brass knuckles because how bad the damage was to my eye , I got out the mental hospital December 1st he had all my stuff my cards etc , So I was able to pull my money and pay rent , Then I found out he was taking my money to pay for him and his little side piece , I ended putting him in jail December 5th for breaking my nose and blacking my eye , He got out of jail , Acouple days after he came back while I was showering holding a gun towards me telling me he will kill me and send my mom a picture of my dead body , I was terrified, that went on for about 30 minutes, He ended making me walk down the street with him into a tattoo shop , telling me I was gonna get a tattoo of his name on my face , After the tattoo he paid for it bought us food he left and I went home , When I went back home a good friend a male was at my doorstep trying to check up on me cause he knew what I was going thru , meanwhile Gary was still down the street I told him he needed to leave because Gary was still down the street , The Man didn’t care and walked in my home !!!! 🤣 Gary came back the following day with a mask on took my phone and went digging in our back bedroom , He started nailing up the curtains more to where nobody could see inside , Then came to the bedroom with a knife my mother gave me for protection against him! He started swinging the knife toward me, Pressing the knife into my sternum (where my breast are) ended up having tiny cuts where he pointed the knife at , He was also asking me a bunch of questions if I cheated on him , and a bunch of other BS , He ended up cutting my hand inbetween my thumb and pointer finger it was really deep , I never got a picture of it , He didn’t leave after it happened, Also to add he tied two socks to my mouth & strangling me really badly !, After he cut me I tried to clean it , it was too painful , He was in the back bedroom again , there was a back door by the kitchen I tried to unlock the back door to make an escape, He heard it I tried to be quiet but he still heard it, He had fireworks & threatened to put gun powder in my mouth and blow my head off , I told him if he was gonna kill me to do it already , he obviously didn’t end up doing it . I went and layed down he came into the room ending raping me I cried till he stopped , When he was done I pulled up my pants rolled over and went to sleep, The next morning I walked up to my landlords asked him to take me to the hospital due to the injury , He took me , The hospital numbed my hand , cleaned it , and gave me six stitches , I still didn’t speak up on what happened. December 24th was our anniversary so we was together, Everything was pretty smooth until it turned Christmas at 2 am , I found out he was still cheating his phone was blowing up while he was having a conversation with someone else in the house , He ended up raping me that night . I found out I was starting to miscarry that night, I went to the hospital the next morning , All the hospitals kept telling me was I wasn’t miscarrying it was my period, but there was a baby in my underwear, so traumatic , They gave me these pills that would stop the bleeding , It didn’t stop because it wasn’t something that could be stopped . I ended up hiding in a hotel in January, reported him January 4th 2024 , He was arrested the next day at his court appearance for his first case , I left him alone changed my number and started to live my life , I needed therapy , Then I found out I was pregnant with my angel baby in may, and now my life is complete ❤️

... Read moreDomestic abuse is a serious issue that affects millions worldwide. In many cases, **victims** experience physical, emotional, and psychological trauma that can last long after the abuse has stopped. It’s important to understand the signs of abuse, which can include isolation, intimidation, and violence, as described in this narrative. Resources for victims are crucial; shelters, hotlines, and counseling services can provide much-needed help. The National Domestic Violence Hotline, for example, offers support and guidance for those in need. Additionally, **therapy** plays a vital role in recovery, allowing individuals to process their experiences and build coping mechanisms. Community support is also key, as it can help survivors feel less alone and more empowered in their healing journey. As this survivor illustrates, gaining support from friends, professionals, and other survivors can lead to newfound strength. Laws and advocacy efforts are increasingly focusing on stopping domestic violence and promoting safety, which includes educational programs and outreach initiatives. Understanding these facets of domestic violence can help raise awareness and potentially save lives. **If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, reach out for help immediately.**
