quotes

“I found myself leaning into the attention whenever I would get it. And then when the attention would stop, I would seek it out.” - Terra

“…but then he smoothed things over. He was just so good at explaining everything so good at covering everything up.” - Terra

“With him coming into my life with him even bringing the drugs and creating that addiction, it created an addiction in the relationship with him.” - Terra

“It made me feel like I had to have my phone on me all the time. I need to answer him right away. I need to, be there for him. And, if I didn't answer that message, then I got punished.” - Terra

“I say before you even think about making that comment of ‘she should have left’ or ‘she chose this’ is go and do the research of how hard it is to leave. Go and do the research of what your brain actually looks like when you're in this toxic relationship.” - Terra
