My story will be very shocking. I want them to understand why I stayed and try and get support for where I am now. There are charities which offer support, I just haven’t been able to find them. Hopefully this post will help others reach out and help me find that support so I can get the ongoing treatment that I need.
Dave was the most persistent one. We set up a place where we were gonna go out with some friends and I remember I got cold feet. Amongst my friends, we had a code something like “hey there is our other friends” but when I saw Dave then I just got like spellbound by him, the code was off and I was mesmerised.
We spent four days together just hang out and had so much fun, then he said that he needed to go home and he said for us to take a stop by his Dad’s house.
He started moving my phone number to his company and doing all kinds of things that every woman wants to be spoiled and I thought I had met the man of my dreams.
As I came, or am from a very broken family and childhood.
My father was very abusive against my mother and very strict with us. Let’s say actually my child wasn’t broken it was a nightmare. I found out when I was 13 that I was partly adopted. Until this day, I don’t know what the truth is.
I got cancer in my early 20’s and soon after my father passed away. My mother had always had some mental issues and after the divorce she got worse. I started working when I was 13 to have a roof over my head so I had always worked hard to have a good life and promised myself to never have a man like my father. I finally thought that I had gotten my own family; my own man who loved me more than life.
I had become a very strong person, I still am, but I’m broken inside. I still have a sense of humour but I’m now very careful which I wouldn’t want to be.
