"He would, yea, hurt me but also hurt himself, and I would watch, and then he would say things like 'this is what you do to people!'" -JB

"But as a 15 year old girl, I took that in, in a way that I had to decondition myself from that for many years." - JB

"It's typical with domestic violence is 7 times. The woman goes back 7 times. That's like an average number for women who go back into domestic violence." - JB

"I had no closure because I was kept away."-JB

They kicked me and my dad out before she died; even though it was 20min later. They wouldn't let us stay. There was so much craziness that went on during that time."- JB

A lot of my family now dislikes me because they think I killed him."- JB
