"Sara's point of view,"

His treatment of me today brought up painful memories of my dad's abuse of my mom.

He also battered my mom, using a belt and other tools.

He not only caused me physical pain but also psychological and emotional harm. He penalized me for an error that I didn't even make.

How could he possibly expel his ire by using me as a sexual object?

I did nothing wrong, so I had to bear his punishment.

Handcuffs bound my hands, making it impossible for me to wipe away my tears.

He consistently destroyed my illusions by revealing his vicious side to me whenever I attempted to see his positive side. I mistook his icy exterior for a kind man; he only cares about satisfying his hunger and disregards the sentiments or emotions of others.

My hatred for him just grew.

When I saw his slightly compassionate side, I forgot about his earlier vicious behavior toward me, but because of him, I now fully understand that not everything that glitters is gold.

He didn't seem to mind
