While discussing the app, Christina recalls being in an abusive relationship.
“I thought about even when you know I was in that abusive relationship back in the day,” Christina says.
“I remember he instilled that fear in you that if you left him he would hurt us and because of that you stayed in it,” Carmen says. “But like to the point where you know you almost lost your life.”
Carmen goes on to say, “You had bruises and you were covering them up all the time.”
Chritina’s mom breaks down crying and tells her, “It was the hardest thing to go through was watching you… it’s been so long since I thought about it.”
The two then discuss how this relationship affected their lives and Christina admits that this app and this project has been a “healing process.”

5. Christina Opens Up to a Journalist About Her Abusive Past:
Christina sits down with journalist and author and domestic violence survivor Tanya Williams to talk about her past abusive relationship. Tanya asks Christina to describe what her life was like at the time of the relationship.
“So I was 17 going into 18 and I met a boy and he had this sarcasm about him that I just thought was super funny,” Christina explains. “But that sarcasm turned out to be something a little bit more dark than I expected and I had no idea what I was getting myself into.”
Christina then talks about how he started to get in her head.
“When you’re in an abusive relationship, you’re fighting for your life every day,” Christina says. “It’s not just one moment.”
Christina goes on to say, “I remember being that girl in the middle of the gas station trying to call 9-11 or call my mom and he’s got me by my head and by my hair and he’s pulling me back and there’s people just watching and they don’t know what to do. And all you could hope for is that someone will save you. But at the same time, you don’t know how to save yourself.”

Christina then recalls how her ex played “real Russian roulette” and describes how he put a bullet in a gun and put it to her head.
“He literally put a bullet in the gun and pointed it at my face,” Christina explains. “Staring down the barrel of a gun is the scariest thing you could ever experience. It’s not funny, it’s not for the movies. There’s a chance of life or death in one click, that’s it.”
Christina tells Tanya that she got out of the relationship when her mom Carmen bought her a ticket to New York and she was able to disappear for a bit and not call him.
“I woke up one day and realized that my family was just trying to help me,” Christina says. “And gave myself the courage and the strength to not call him and invite him back into my life.”
