“In late April 1991, I became pregnant. I wanted to move away from what had happened, but it was all documented in my diary,” Applegate, 54, wrote in the book, which was released on Tuesday, March 3. “There are moments in my life that are too painful to force narrative or make meaning, so I’ll let my voice at the time speak for itself.”
In this memoir, Applegate includes entries from her journals throughout her life. In 1991, she wrote that “so many emotions filled my soul” about her pregnancy.

One Christmas, Applegate took her now-ex to her grandmother’s house in Indiana. When things obviously got physical, her mom, Nancy Priddystop it. Applegate recalled calling him a “jerk” before he pulled her out of the bathroom.
“He barged in, grabbed me by the neck and dragged me by my legs through the hallway and back to the bedroom where the lights were still on,” she wrote. “He pushed me down on the bed, with my pants still around my ankles. His face was livid, completely immersed in anger, he was shaking with anger, panting, foaming at the mouth, as if his life was on the line.”
Her family were “horrified” and called the police. Applegate did not press charges and her boyfriend was taken to a motel. She went with him, much to her mother’s dismay. The situation is said to have escalated again.

While they were together, one last thing happened that led to the end of their relationship. During one fight, he poured “an entire bottle of tequila” down her throat. Prior to her “severe alcohol poisoning,” Applegate called her recently hired bodyguard.
“He found my boyfriend sitting on the couch acting like nothing had happened while I was nearly unconscious, sputtering and incoherent,” she wrote. “Every breath I took was apparently an eternity apart, he told me later.”
