My topic is the secrets of domestic violence, and the question I'm going to tackle is the one question everyone always asks: Why does she stay? Why would anyone stay with a man who beats her? I'm not a psychiatrist, a social worker or an expert in domestic violence. I'm just one woman with a story to tell.
I was 22. I had just graduated from Harvard College. I had moved to New York City for my first job as a writer and editor at Seventeen magazine. I had my first apartment, my first little green American Express card, and I had a very big secret. My secret was that I had this gun loaded with hollow-point bullets pointed at my head by the man who I thought was my soulmate, many, many times. The man who I loved more than anybody on Earth held a gun to my head and threatened to kill me more times than I can even remember. I'm here to tell you the story of crazy love, a psychological trap disguised as love, one that millions of women and even a few men fall into every year. It may even be your story.今天，我要在这儿谈论一个令人困扰的问题，这个问题有一个同样令人困扰的答案。我要谈的话题是家暴的秘密，而我将要解答的是一个大家经常会问到的问题：为什么她还留在那儿？为什么会有人愿意留在一个打她的男人身边？我不是精神科医生、社会工作者或家暴方面的专家。我只是一个有着亲身经历要讲的女人。
当时，我22岁，刚从哈佛学院毕业。我搬到了纽约，作为《Seventeen》杂志的作家与编辑，开始了自己的第一份工作。我拥有了我的第一间公寓，第一张绿色美国运通卡（信用卡），还有一个非常大的秘密。我的秘密就是，我曾经被我认为是我的灵魂伴侣的那个男人用这把装满空心子弹的枪指着我的头许多许多次。那个我在这个世界上曾经最爱的男人拿枪对着我的头，并威胁要杀死我，这种事发生的次数多得我都记不清了。现在我向你们讲述这个“疯狂之爱”的故事，一个伪装成爱情的心理陷阱的故事，每年都有数以百万的女性甚至包括一些男性掉进这样的陷阱里。或许，这正是你现在经历着的。
