Even though I could move on with my life, I always felt like I should do something, tell someone, let the world know that this extremely messed-up thing happened to me.

Two months later, my ex violated his house arrest.
After a while, I started tasting the same thing in my drinks.
I would read self-help books, go to support groups and see a counselor regularly.
