This was a really hard read but also a really great one.
It was heart breaking and disturbing yet also gripping. Once I really got into I did not want to put it down, as much as it was hearting my soul. I found certain parts really relatable to the point that it's left a kind of weight in my chest and emotions. 
This one definitely comes with a very strong trigger warning for abuse.
