Ruby Barker narrates her ordeal

Ruby Barker took to her Instagram handle to pen a long note about her abusive relationship. She captioned her post, "Trigger warning: BTS 2023. What happens behind closed doors. Nobodies daughter or son deserves this. My father died and my mum out the picture, easy target, I guess."

She further began to narrate her story and wrote, "I met a man in the pub. I was just back from my Dad's funeral. I had a party at my house. He stayed behind to help me clean up. That's how it began." "Eventually this man was throwing things at me, threatening to punch me, jamming his fingers into my heart space whilst using his knees to pin me down. Spitting in my face. Standing over the bath I'd beg him for, for my grief and Mental Health whilst on the phone to my oldest friend and taking out his p---- to urinate, before laughing at my disgust, shock, and sadness, turning to go in the toilet," she further added.

What elese did Ruby Barker say?

Continuing her story, Ruby said that "he would withhold intimacy, shame me and be unfaithful. He put his hands around my throat multiple times," adding, "So much so, that when he ran at me and did it, I didn't flinch anymore. Holding a pillow over my face and whispering 'Think of the first night we met' in my ear. I wonder if he found it funny when I was scared and playing along with his 'jokes'. It starts as a joke."

"This is how predators gear up to kill you one day. His family enables him and so do every single one of his so called 'friends'. If he has a cocaine problem and/or moves in any of these ways, get out," she wrote. "I know I joke a lot, but this was not funny and ultimately nearly killed me. I was so confused and ultimately all I wanted was my Dad back. But he wasn't coming back to hit me with some wisdom. I spent nights on the phone to the Samaritans and the Police would call me and come by my place to see if I was okay. I didn't want to press charges. Refuge helped me understand what the cycle of abuse was and what it looks like. He knows. I know."

"Now you know too. I've exploited his skills for my own gain, he exploited my kindness and generosity for sadism. And he calls me crazy," she concluded.
