Whoa. Talk about insane. Like, I can't even... I just can't, ya know? Especially because I know that in real life, women go through this all the time and feel exactly like that. I know first hand - my dad used to abuse my mom. He had her believing she wasn't good enough and couldn't leave him because without him, she was nothing. Which, of course, is untrue. So she stayed and endured 6 years of severe mental and physical abuse. It's all too real and too sad.
This was really, really intense and it helped us see how Briana ended up as she is and it gives us more perspective. I'm really digging it lol. Well done! (As always)

I'm kind of a moron... Posted a review instead of a reply. Smh.
I've known a few people who've been in that situation myself, not as closely as you, but hearing their stories once they've broken away and started fresh will always stay with me. The things people put other human beings through sickens me, especially when it's a relationship that you should trust. Parent to child, husband to wife... It's unspeakable. I don't know if you've spoken about you parents before, part of me feels like you have, but regardless I'm so sorry she had to go through that. Hopefully she's stronger for it. Not that she should have to gain strength that way. We can't forget, of course, that men suffer at the hands of their female partners too... I'll never understand it, the need to hurt someone like that. Glad you dig it! Lol. I don't know why I wanted to write this exact story, but something about the back scar stuck with me. xx
