Daniel's personal story

I was with my ex-boyfriend for just 4 months and he was financially, emotionally, physically and sexually abusive.

What he did to me:

  • Made me sleep with him
  • Accused me of having affairs with other men
  • Drowned me in the path
  • Hit and punched me
  • Attempted to push me down the stairs
  • Would say that it was my fault
  • Would say that I deserved it.

I finally left him and went to the police and reported him and they said because I was a male I should just fight back.
