Once upon a time, Raped-unzel let her hair down, and a predator climbed up.
She had been swept off her feet by the charm and deceit of Mr. No-Longer-Charming, who filled her ears with smooth words and empty promises. Now, she found herself married to a man who belittled her with harsh words, calling her a “whore” while simultaneously professing his love—an emotional rollercoaster that left her feeling trapped.
Raped-unzel confronted Mr. No-Longer-Charming, saying, “Don’t mistake me for that passive princess in a fairy tale. I can see through your façade and recognize your true self.”
Her reality was a stark contrast to the romantic stories she had heard; she was living in the unspoken dark side of the fairy tale, a world where love was replaced by control and neglect. Mr. No-Longer-Charming treated her as if he owned her, yet he failed to provide her with care or support. Whenever she expressed her needs, he would dismiss her, claiming she was “busting his balls” and resorting to calculated punishments for her defiance.
Initially, Raped-unzel tried to become invisible, blending into the background and suppressing her desires, hoping to avoid conflict. But the painful truth soon dawned on her—there was no genuine relationship when there was no real connection. She felt isolated within her marriage, unable to share her joys or struggles with a man who had transformed their bond into a prison of lies and manipulation.
Determined to break free, Raped-unzel began the slow but empowering journey of dismantling her false union, often reflecting, “I wish I had never let down my hair that day.”
