Relationships are meant to be a source of joy, comfort, and mutual respect. However, not all relationships represent these ideals.

Several people are unfortunate to find themselves trapped with abusive partners who make the whole aspect of love seem like a prison. In abusive relationships, one partner uses power and control over the other, often resulting in emotional and physical harm.

Sometimes you wonder if this is truly the person you fell in love with—the same person who showed you care and compassion in the early stages of the relationship.

The chilling story that unfolds before us is a clear example of what it feels like to be a prisoner of love. We look deep into the life of our narrator, a brave woman who faced unimaginable adversities from the man she once adored.

This heart-wrenching tale begins with a simple act of accidentally deleting a meal order, which then escalates into a volatile situation where the safety of her and her children hangs in the balance.

As we follow her journey, from enduring her partner's violent outbursts to her courageous decision to break free, we bear witness to the different ways in which abusive relationships can shatter one's spirit.

Yet, through resilience and support, our narrator finds a way out, shining a light on the dark reality that countless individuals face daily.

Take a seat because this is a long and tough read.

Buckle up, this is going to be a long read
