It’s supposed to keep cold air out during the winter
And keep cold air in during the summer
Until it becomes a trigger
A reminder of what someone else did to put you ‘in your place’
Just because I had the nerve to speak up and a wolf in sheep’s clothing was exposed
So he slammed the hammer down as hard as he could and made sure I was the one punished in the most covert way possible
Because who would believe the crazy lady going on and on about being abused through an HVAC system?
No physical proof
It’s just psychological
No big deal, right?
Until the heat gets turned on and it becomes an unexpected trigger because it feels like your suffocating
The scars may be invisible but they’re still there
And you can doubt my experience as much as you want
But it’s not going to take away the reality of what I went through behind closed doors at the hands of a skilled con man
