Fleeing abuse

she had to leave her abusive relationship when her boyfriend stuck a gun in her mouth.

Woman describes years of rape, control

by

ATLANTA NORTHCUTT

Reporter for the Southern Standard

(McMinnville, Tennessee)

Beverly Parrotta knew her life

had to change when her boyfriend stuck a loaded 12-gauge

shotgun in her mouth and she

was forced to beg for her life.

She managed to escape the

house that night and hid in a

sewer ditch while her boyfriend

walked around trying to find

her. Hampered by a broken

ankle and on crutches, Beverly

would eventually make her

way to safety, walking miles to

get away.

¡°I believed he was going to

kill me through starvation and

dehydration,¡± said Beverly,

who was held hostage for six

weeks with the broken ankle

suffered at her boyfriend¡¯s

hands.

Her own children weren¡¯t

even allowed to bring her food

and water. ¡°He had me right

where he wanted me,¡± Beverly

said.

The beginning of Beverly¡¯s

life was filled with physical and

sexual abuse, as well as child

pornography, causing her and

her siblings to be taken by the

state, separated and adopted by

other families.

As an adult, she survived

many more years of living hell

with the father of her child and

the man who was supposed to

love her, ending with him putting a shotgun in her mouth.

Beverly¡¯s adoptive parents

showered her and four of her

siblings with love and kindness.

When Beverly was 17, she

moved to a nearby town where

she earned her CNA license to

help others while working at

NHC and as a caregiver for

Caring Hearts.

At 20, Beverly met Curtis. She

believed he was her knight in

shining armor.
