Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.

Over 20 years ago, I had a fling with a really toxic guy. He accused me of cheating on him with my then roommate. He was a cracker programmer who dumped porno files in my laptop After the relationship had ended.

During the brief relationship he was controlling & abusive. That he would mask by saying he was “concerned.” However, he kept me away from my friends & my roommate & barely gave me room to breathe outside of the “relationship.” I recall going back to my apartment to check in with my roommate & he yelled at me for calling my mom back who had grown worried.

What the brief toxic relationship taught me is that love is not what that was. Love is trusting, open & honest. Not what that relationship was. If you see red flags don’t ignore them but get out ASAP.
