And so then I'd meet men drinking, and then they turned out to, you know, have alcohol problems.” - Mira “When I started internet dating, I got all those responses, including him. We were first talking, and I took screenshots of those back then because I knew it was not quite right.” - Mira “It was very eye-opening in a lot of ways because in a sense, it was like adopting him as a teenager, really what it felt like because I had taken on all of these responsibilities.” - Mira “And I was afraid he was going to commit suicide. I was afraid he was going to kill us. and he was driving by the house and all this shit and so he had no support system. He's never had any friends.” - Mira “I had to trust my path and I don't do well with that. I like knowing what comes next. So you have to trust that you will be okay and you have to lean on others and come into a space of receiving and acceptance and put that out into the universe.” - Mira ​ music | sounds Music (CC BY 4.0): Lost Place Atmospheres 002 by Sascha Ende Very Low Note by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Other Music and Sound Effects by Geoffrey Harvey, Samuel Kamau, Alex Wit, cybercutie, Timothy Kulig, AlesiaDavina, Pixabay, Samuel F.

    quotes

    “This guy came to our house. I had seen a photo of him and my dad, in their, army uniforms. So the very first time I ever met him, I thought he was, like, even better looking.” - Justine

    “My parents would like very gingerly tell me like, ‘hey, I don't think he's treating you the way you should be treated.’ I just pushed it aside, and thought that, they just didn't know him as well as I did. They're gonna eventually see how wonderful he is.” - Justine

    “I would be laying in bed in the middle of the night and be like, I'm gonna be a statistic. I'm gonna wake up one morning and he's just gonna decide that he's done with me living.” - Justine

    “…there had just been so many years of hearing how I was, like, the bad one, I was the bad person, um, and so it took me a long time to, like, break myself of that habit of thinking that I was always in the wrong.” - Justine
