Prologue

People always assume there was a switch flipped. It was more like a pendulum released. At the pinnacle it was bad, but the rest of the time was great. Until gravity pulls down on the weight and soon half the time is bad and half good. I didn't realize I was in an abusive relationship until the pendulum had practically stopped; when the bad outweighed the good. **Trigger- abusive aftermath/monologue. No detailed depictions of the abuse.
