Fragrance of a Crushed Flower

¬This is a true story about me - a young teenage girl trapped in a relationship with a professional boxer who was a street - fighter and gang leader. He completely controlled my life through severe physical, mental and verbal abuse. After becoming pregnant in my early teens, I found that there was no way out of the relationship and no possible avenue of escape, as everything I tried had failed. Eventually I gave up trying and embraced a path with him in order to survive. Marriage was on the doorstep when something radical happened that changed my destiny forever and unlike many others in an extremely violent relationship...I escaped to tell the story! Deborah A.
