By the time he came home I had already rung my parents and told them what
happened, it was so good to hear from them, I missed them so much, Freddie
never let me contact them not even on Christmas day. I also rang my best
friend
Regina. Regina was always a pain in the arse at the best of times but she
was my
best friend and was always there for me no matter what. I told Regina where
I was
and that I was ok, it was really good to talk to another female, I hadnt
done so for
six months.
That night Freddie came home, all sorry and apologetic, I was very cold
towards
him, he could never understand what it was like to go through what I did
alone. I
told him that I was going back to Sydney on Thursday, and went to bed.
About
3.30am there was a knock at the door, Regina had driven with her sister
all night
to come and pick me up. Freddie told me I couldnt go and I said to myself
its now
or never, I packed my things and left with her that morning.
Freddie kept calling me and telling me how sorry he was and that he would
never
do it again. Stupid me got suckered right back in and he moved back to
Sydney. I
was living with my parents whilst he camped out in his car in the front
yard of my
parents house. He still is sleeping in the car outside, he takes me to
work and drives
me home, I do not get any spare time to myself, my mental well being has
suffered
immensly and because of his little lies I may lose my job.
My parents were always pressuring me to break up with him. I always thought
yeah
they were just biased, because he didnt have a decent education and job.
It took me a
long long time to realise that it was him that was the problem and they
could see
something that took me nearly a year to see.
