So I just wanted to put this note at the beginning of this story so I don't have to put these in front of every single chapter.
This book is one big trigger warning. It focuses heavily on the issue of domestic violence and will contain large amounts of cursing, slurs, graphic descriptions of abuse, panic attacks, and will most likely also contain smut at some point.
A lot of this book stems from my own personal experience and therefore will be quite descriptive especially in the areas of the feelings that come from domestic abuse. Before anyone asks, I have been out of that situation for several years now and am perfectly fine. I just wanted to put that here.
Also, if you or anyone else you know is struggling in a domestic violence situation, please reach out to the people around you. Or if you want to talk, I'm always available. I've also included multiple hotline numbers for victims regarding various aspects of abuse and domestic violence. Please don't hesitate to reach out to these lines if you are in danger.
