I stayed. I stayed and fought for three years. Three years of being emotionally and physically abused. I stayed through every time you cheated, and begged me to believe it wouldn't happen again. I stayed throughout every time you threatened my safety. I stayed regardless of what my friends and family thought. The day of prom was my last day, and I knew I had had enough. You took a really close friend of mine home that night and slept with her.

I went about my life for the next year struggling to find myself. After enrolling in YSU, I met Zech. Thanks to you, I pushed him away and was always afraid he would hurt me the ways you did. I almost let an amazing man go because you ruined everything for me. Thankfully, by some miracle, Zech stayed and is the love of my life. He treats me the exact opposite then you ever did and I cannot thank him enough for staying and breaking down all of my walls.

Regardless of how much you screwed up my outlook on life and love, you did show me one thing. You showed me what I deserve and that is so much better than you. So thank you, for ruining my life so I could finally see what I truly deserve.
