I remember one Sunday morning he woke up in a bad mood and I was just internally over his behavior. As I sat in the bathroom getting my nephew who was 4 years old ready for church my ex began to tell me about a nightmare he had. I was listening however, I didn't say much he got upset and for the first time he called me a bitch right in front of my nephew. I could feel he was starting to boil over so I took the baby and headed out the door for church. He tried to stop me but I left anyway and walked over to the church as it was a short walking distance from our home. I made it to the church and sat down the collection plate was in the front and the congregation began to walk up and put their tithes and offerings on the plate. I didn't notice that he made it to the church when I looked up and their he was walking back down the isle after putting something in the plate and the way he looked at me when we locked eyes was terrifying. He sat behind me and all I can do was sense his presence and it was very thick in the air. Shortly after we got home my sister came to pickup my nephew and I began to get ready for work. I thought that I was in the clear because he was quite. After I got ready for work I stood by the bedroom door to let him know that I was leaving for the diner when he looked over at me as he sat at the edge of the bed. He the said to me " you must think that I'm a monster?" and when I said no he jumped up so fast and slapped me so hard my glasses flew under the bed. He then collected my glasses, got on his knees, and started crying and saying "I can't believe I hit my baby." Although my face was hot and ringing I managed not to cry. He tried to make me call off of work, but I held it together and reminded him that the diner needed me. I asked him if he'd be home when I get off so we could talk. I needed him to believe that I was coming home so he won't stop me from leaving. That day I was a mess at work dropping this, screwing up orders, and not my bubbly self. When asked what was going on I just cracked and blurted out that he hit me. I will forever be grateful to my crew at the diner because they helped me escape. I escaped that very night but it didn't last too long because he found me. I'm free now and it's been years but often this whole ordeal I went through can be so confusing. It's confusing because when we met I was 19 and he was 22 and I was trying to help him see his potential yet, he came in with lies and abuse. He once told me that he watched me for a while before approaching me now I know he was studying me and had no intention on being good to me at all. Ladies and gentlemen I urge you to get out at the first red flag.💞
People who say they’d just leave…you have no idea. Unless you have been madly in love with someone and then all of a sudden get smacked about and then they’re sorry and then it’s all lovely again…then it happens again…then nice…then again. Each time you are being pulled back in and feel addicted to them and besotted. It’s hard to explain. But only abuse survivors will understand me when I say that. They have a powerful hold over you and it’s not as simple as just leaving. You hope they will change..you think maybe it’s you? Domestic abuse is so painful. I’ve lived it. 😢
The thing what didn't make sense to me, is that Mitch always had an off-feeling about Gray but when his daughter suddenly dies, he never confronts him or anything. Also, Chantelle always had bruises so wouldn't forensics have picked up on that?
I liked the domestic abuse story in the archers about 6 or 7 years ago. Well I don’t like domestic abuse but that was good acting by Timothy Watson and Louiza Patikas.
Why did she have to go with him she should’ve stayed with her dad in a safe place but now she go but never forgotten rest in peace Chantelle p.s she was the best actor
