“got involved with someone I knew since college”

My husband manipulated me into breaking up with my boyfriend, then controlled my relationships with friends and family, causing me to drop out of college.

What I wish I knew
"I was in a toxic relationship from the start."
If I could tell you one thing
"Be aware of manipulation and control in relationships"
