No one believed me when I told people that my boyfriend locked me up in our bedroom and typed up rules for me that he posted on our walls in the house. I got smart and took pictures of all of this and recorded every fight we had without him knowing on a hidden phone. At the time, I had an infant son. Despite the isolation, I kept my evidence close, knowing it would be crucial in the future.

After two years of being no contact, I took all my evidence to court. The judge could see and hear for himself without me having to say anything that could be denied. My ex had the biggest disbelief look on his face and was speechless. The courtroom became a stage where the truth was finally laid bare, and the facade of normalcy was shattered.

I don’t feel like I won. You see, no one wins with these people, including our innocent son. It’s a deadly disease and it’s not curable. The emotional and psychological damage endured is profound, and though justice was served, the scars remain. My hope now is for peace and healing, both for myself and my child.
