1 Day 1

Let's start off by saying that my name is Simone* and this quarantine started off with me in an abusive relationship and living in an apartment that I was paying rent for. Before I can tell you how Corona messed up my already screwed life, I feel I have to give you a little back story.

It's 2019 and prior to this I had to travel from one state to the next for work and home. My partner isn't working a steady job and so the burden of taking care of the bills falls on my shoulders, even though I only go home one weekend each month. Yes you guessed right, I am paying rent and bills for a space that I hardly use. On top of that whenever i go home i have to wash, cook and clean because my partner wasnt doing anything around the house. Just imagine it, piles of dishes in the sink, undone laundry and garbage everywhere. Not a pretty sight huh? It annoyed me but I loved him so I buried my fatigue and annoyance DEEP down and continued to play the role of a dutiful girlfriend. I would go "home" do my role as the cleaning lady and still be expected to please him in the bedroom. When I told him that I was tired he would start an argument and let me know that I was hardly there so it's the least I could do. Toxic right? That isn't the worse of it.

I was being abused physically, emotionally and verbally by him at every turn. Once when I tried breaking up with him he started threatening my family members and told me that he would ensure that they all died while leaving me alive so that I could know that it was all my fault. At this point we had been together for 7 years, he had cheated once( that I knew of), given me Chlamydia and instead if telling me that he was being trifling and had caught something he told the girl he cheated with to get herself checked out and tried to convince me that I had given him a yeast infection.

Then when I broke up with him for a short time and got a girlfriend he beat my black and blue, all hits to the head and forced me to break up with her and started sending threats her way. It wasn't all bad though, before it got to that u was convinced that he was the one for me, that he was my forever but forever is a dark and painful place.
