Summary

Unbeknownst to Natalie, after locking eyes with her future ex at an event, chaos would inhabit her life for the next 3.5 years. Natalie's abuser masterfully manipulated her kindness to maintain control over her, using gaslighting, triangulation, compulsive lying, silent treatments, and more to keep her line. And when Natalie finally had enough of the abuse, her ex hoovered her back many times, used smear campaigns, and relentlessly harassed her to maintain any control she could get.
