CHVRCHES’ lead singer Lauren Mayberry recently penned a letter about an abusive relationship from her past for Lena Dunham’s Lenny Letter. Mayberry is generally quiet about her personal life but at the same time vocal about misogyny and the abuse women face in the music industry and in everyday life.

Mayberry writes about her experience in a dangerous relationship including what she went endured, realization that she was in an abusive relationship and her wake-up call to leave this abuser. This eye-opening and powerful letter shows that abuse is not always physical and can also be used as a cautionary example for other girls and women in similar situations.

An except follows, “We were arguing, again. Like most times it happened, I wasn't quite sure why he was so upset. I had tried to placate him; I had tried to reason; I had tried to apologize, but nothing seemed to be having any impact other than making the situation worse. Then he backed me against a wall and slammed his hand repeatedly on the surface above my head. When I broke down in shock, he said, "Oh, don't act like I hit you." That moment was the final wake-up call I shouldn't have needed.”
