Hi

Hiya all

I just wanted to say hi to you all i'm new here.

A bit about me, When i was 4 i was raped my our next door neighbour when i went ovr one day to play with his daughter, he hurt me pretty bad and made me do some aweful things. When I got home my mum realised something was wrong and what had happend and took me strait to the hospital, and I remember the police coming to talk to me when i was in hospital. My parents hate to talk about this but I know he was convicted.

When I was in my teens I was in an extreamly abusive relationship he would abuse me mentaly, emotionaly, physically and sexually. He let one of his friends rape me while he watched one night. One day Irealised what my life had turned to because of him and I found the courage to leave him. A few moths ago with the support of my fiancee I went to the police about him as I knew that there were video tapes of me that he would still have. It turns out he had done the same thing to 3 othe girls that were all his girlfriends as well. He is now in remand and the court case starts in febuary. I am not coping to well at the moment because of that coming up.

Love

Turtle
