“It only lasted 4months but those months were intense, we were amazing 2 begin with, then we were in deep & nearer the end it was horrible, heart breaking, evil, hurtful, hate, pain & nearly violent. U played me well, u used every bit of me & told me things I really thought were true. I'd not been in love like this before & hated being with out u as we had some thing special that no 1 could take away. U fought 4 me, never gave up on me, every day u told me u loved me, we txt & rang each other every minute of the day. The sex was amazing as I'd never felt love making like I did with him& wanted more & craved him more then I was controlled, he made me think I needed him, made me beg, treated me like shit, made me feel worthless, he was sick & twisted every thing was my fault, I didn't no him any more. This was not me I didn't no who I was any more & I had no strength 2 fight as he took it all from me, I was in hell but sum how I still truly was in love with this man WHY???”
