"Blaine would constantly throw chairs at me, punch me, kick me in the stomach (...) he threatened to shoot me if I ever left him...and that was during the time he was running around with Tilly Waters... he was so nice to her...and I was forced to be nice to her too even though I knew deep down she was having an affair with the person I loved. don't get me wrong... he cheated on me... constantly and I knew that. I really did but I knew the power he had as his family were basically royalty during that time. He held it over my head and I couldn't do anything about it. I had no strength. I felt so small as if I was nothing to him. He'd call his mistress all these nice things...he'd tell her how lovely, kind and beautiful she was..but when he was with me..I remember one night he told me he didn't like sleeping in the same bed as me as it was like 'waking up next to a pig in lipstick', I remember crying all that night. it was awful. I wish he wasn't dead so I could tell him straight to his face how much of a narcissist he really was."
