And i'll be real honest with ya'll, the first few months, maybe 6 or so, after I admitted that this was happening was almost more pain emotionally then any of the physical pain that Ryan caused me.
No one believing me. No way could Ryan have done this to me. He's the all american boy, so perfect. Having my house and my mom's on 24 hour patrol. Missing classes to be in a the DA's office to play back the 10 voicemails I had the night before so that they could be taped. Spending my JR year in court, not class. Not being able to sleep in my own bed because it was to dark in the room. Not being able to sleep at all at night because it was to quite in my apartment. Missing class again to sleep because I couldn't sleep during the day. This all was much more painful, and finally led up to an anziety attack were I calapsed in the middle of rehersal, was taken to the ER, diagnosed with BiPolar, placed on several Rx to just make me sleep. this is just the tip of the iceberg. And Im one of the lucky ones. I got myself out of it all.
But once again, a lot of the responses have made me feel once again the same feelings I had and why it took me so long to get out. And makes me realize how lucky I am to have found Vette, maybe one of the few who actually understands that i wasn't to blame for this, but I was lucky to see it happening before I lost my life.
