Saskia was no closer to a solution.
One morning in 2018, she found herself on the bathroom floor.
I just remember waking up to him in a frenzied voice like, get up, get up.
And I remember opening my eyes and I was on the cold floor and there were two perfect lines of blood.
And I was just like, so in like a twilight, right?
Like so kind of out of it.
Mike was terrified.
She must have fallen.
With his help, she slowly stood up.
I remember looking in the mirror and seeing my eye.
It was swollen shut.
and completely closed.
It was the day of her high school reunion.
All of her friends were ready to go.
Saskia texted them she wouldn't be able to make it.
She sent Bridget a photo.
She had the darkest black eye and she was like, I'm not showing up looking like this.
She wouldn't be able to explain it.
She didn't even understand it.
She didn't understand why she couldn't control herself and why these things were happening.
