MEN! July 2017. | Page 24

I was with 3 men who abused me, the first one was Neil, the second was my ex husband Phil and the third was Ric. When I met Neil it was off a Jamaican phone dating program. We talked over the phone and then we decided to meet, when I saw him, he dressed real decent, so I said to myself, I can be with him, because is a nice decent man I want, but little did I know that he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. After a month of being with him, he started to tell me lies, then a couple months after he cheated, then after a year it went to him abusing me. What did happen was. . . he thought I was cheating on him, when he knew he was the one who is messing around! I might have talked to a guy but I wasn’t cheating. Then he pushed me on the bed and put a knife at my throat, I said “JESUS help me!” (in my mind). Neil looked in my eyes and took the knife from off my neck same time. ( Oohhh, God is good!). I got away scotch free without a bruised at that time, the next time it wasn’t good. Neil came to my parents house when I was living there at 19yrs old, in that hour it was me, Neil and my older brothers wife Sim was hanging out, Sim was distant away doing her own thing. 17
