“Because it was sudden, it felt like. It was my life. So like when you live with somebody, it’s your whole life,”

Patrick elaborated further, recounting the long-term impact Rodgers had on her sense of self and confidence. She told Steele that he “left a trail of blood” in her life, noting the lasting scars.
“People could never imagine that I would lack … any confidence or belief in the simple things about who I am. Everything was torn to bits,”
