THE STORY BEGINS WITH TRUST

Some stories begin with a warning.
This one began with trust.

My Teacher Called It Love is the true story of a thirteen-year-old girl who believed she had found someone who understood her. What began as attention, trust, and connection slowly became something far more complicated—a relationship shaped by grooming, manipulation, and control, all disguised as love.

This is the story of what happened when a teacher crossed the line—and a child didn't yet know there was a line to cross.
