quotes

“I thought that it was going to be, like, a romance novel because he painted that picture for me.” - Kaitlyn
“We didn't have boundaries. those, between him and I, those didn't exist.” - Kaitlyn
“He would wake up and decide that he wanted to be mad at me for something that he dreamt about, and he would take it out on me.” - Kaitlyn
“I had to get stripped of everything that I'd ever known. So those basic emotions that we get when we're children. I got stripped down to those emotions. in therapy, it was like, you think you understand guilt but you need to learn just happiness.” - Kaitlyn
