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," ding, "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 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 se ways, get out," she wrote. "I kw I joke a lot, but this was t funny and ultimately nearly killed me. I was so confused and ultimately all I wanted was my D back. But he wasn't coming back to hit me with some wisdom. I spent nights on phone to Samaritans and 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 cycle of abuse was and what it looks like. He kws. I kw."
