I’d known him since I was 8 years old, we’re both 23 years now. He was a heroin addict, a drug dealer and a gang member. I am none of those things, yet was swept up into that world. I had to move countries to escape him because he didn’t care about the restraining order.
Ex boyfriend tried to kill me almost a year ago now. AMA

Glad you’re alive.
What were the events that led to him trying to kill you? I’m sorry this happened to you.
How did you finally get free of him?
Glad you got away from that, any kids involved?
Did you ever do any drugs too? Are you getting any mental help like therapy? Has he tried contacting you?
Glad you are doing well!
Would you rather have to fight an ostrich every Christmas at a random time or kickbox a kangaroo high on cocaine every birthday at 5:00 PM?
Why are you doing an AMA? I’m afraid revealing too much might be too risky. Glad you’re doing well
Omg I can relate to this wow I also left my home country with my kids a year ago nearly , after my ex turned up in my house (also a DA) he Also had restraining orders and broke them – ended up just packing what I could into a few bags and getting a once way flight !! I’m glad you’re okey and surviving now ? Where did you go? How are you managing away from home? Has he left you alone now ?? And what do you do to support yourself this is super similar to me..
How were the first 6 months of the relationship? Are there any signs that in retrospective would have made you react sooner?
I’m so sorry you went through this. How are you doing? I hope you feel happy and safe.
What gang is he in?
Hi! I’m so glad that you’re alive. But is he far away from you or does he still live in the same area as you? Would you consider moving abroad permanently for your safety?
Apologies in advance if you’ve already answered that
That is insanely brave and amazing, always remember this it takes a lot of guts to leave country – it’s always going to be hard at first – but long term you will shine ✨ you can’t heal where you got hurt – so this journey will be the start of your healing process 🙂 and you will get your confidence back slowly, your doing great , keeping connected with your friends at home is so important ? Are you enjoying university ?

What, if anything, have you learned about the ability to change someone to who you think or hope they can become?
Have you seen You? What are your thoughts on it?
Was he white ? Black ? Asian ? Hispanic?
When during the 15 years you have met him and noticed he probably did drugs and sold them and thought “100% safe, hubby material”?
Edit: grammar
Was the bad boy experience up to par?
