The first crack appeared on our honeymoon. I was late to dinner because I was fixing my makeup. He didn’t yell. He just didn’t speak to me for 14 hours. When he finally did, he said, "I just love you so much, it hurts me when you don’t prioritize us." I apologized. I thought that was love.

My prison didn’t have bars. It had oak cabinets, a two-car garage, and fresh flowers on the dining table every Sunday.

I am not a victim. I am an expert on escape. And I’m telling you this because someone reading this right now is living in the cage of roses. You are not weak. You are planning. And when you’re ready, there is a door. Campaign Name: "The Quiet Exit" Tagline: Not every wound bleeds. Not every prison has walls.

"Beautiful, isn’t it? Safe. Protected. No one would ever call this a prison.
