--> 00:13:01,448 HE BEAT ME SO SEVERELY I HAD LOST CONSCIOUSNESS, 213 00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:04,068 AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I LOST THE BABY, 214 00:13:04,068 --> 00:13:08,103 AND COMPLICATIONS FROM THAT LEFT ME UNABLE TO HAVE KIDS. 215 00:13:10,586 --> 00:13:13,241 AT THAT POINT, I KNEW IF I STAYED WITH HIM, 216 00:13:13,241 --> 00:13:15,551 HE'D END UP KILLING ME, 217 00:13:15,551 --> 00:13:18,379
