When I was a freshman in High School, I began a year long relationship with the guy that became my abuser. He was in JROTC and seemed like a great guy. He would constantly question who I was with, what I was wearing, and what I was doing. He would call me names and demean me. Over time, we broke up many times, he made me lie to the people I cared about and I lost touch with many of my friends and lost the great relationships I had with my family members. The worst times was when he would threaten to commit suicide. I was so scared all the time and would try to call the police. One night I called the police and hung up after he threatened to commit suicide yet again. The line didn't disconnect and the next thing I remember the cops and my parents were bursting in my room as I was getting out of the shower. I was so scared and I lied and said that I hadn't called. I will never forget the way I felt and the emotional scars are still with me.
