You think he yelled at you and hit you because you talked back to him and you said mean things to him, that it was your fault. I couldn’t look at anyone, all my friends were bitches and they all wanted to be with me, and you end up believing it,” she continued.

While I was bleeding from the blow, he said to me: ‘Forgive me, forgive me, but you too, why are you saying that?’
