When I was little i was terrified of going to the dentist (I still am actually, its gets worse the older i get), which is completely irrational, because its not like i ever needed lots of treatment or anything (i wish this were true now, but sadly not-bulimia ruins your teeth). Anyway, I used to make all sorts of bargains with, erm, fate i guess-you know the kind-'if i keep my room tidy/clean my tack properly/do my homework/dont eat to keep mum happy then 'appointment day will neevr come, or it will get cancelled or something'. Know what i mean? I used to wish for things to happen to stop me going-even really bad things like crashing the car on the way (noone would get hurt-wed just bump it, but we would be so late would have to cancel etc etc), literally anything to PUT IT OFF. I'm still that way to a large extent now. All the really hideous things, i put them off until i really have to do them. I never seem to learn that getting it done with is so much better-i know that-but i still do that anyhow.
I'm actually kinda doing it now. I guess ive been doing it all week actually. Desperately wishing for something-anything-to stop this from happening. Its not that I want him to be able to just walk away from it-its just that i do no not want to be there under any circumstances. The scenarios that i conjure up to stop this from happening seem now much more like actual possibilities now im older-I could go and smash a car up and hurt myself so i couldnt go. I could cut really badly so i know id be in hospital;I could OD, or i could kill myself. I could do any of these things.but would i?should i?
I dont know the answer to that, but i dont necessarily think it matters.
But would putting it off make it worse-well the relief would be there for a day or so. Then the super turbo charged anxiety would once again kick in, and if its anything like the last 2 weeks, then i really dont want to know what that would be like longterm. well, i do, but you know what i mean. Clearly, there is going to be no last minute reprieve. yeh, cheers for that, powers that be. And short of being dead, i have to go, or i will be arreseted and made to go-sucks giving evidence for the prosecution.
I am terrified. That doesnt even begin to describe it. I cant even talk about it without throwing up, courtesy of my friend 'super anxiety', so thats gonna be a barrel of laughs.
And what if noone belives what im saying?i cant got hrough that again, I cant ohysically deal with seeing him get away with it again. its akways on his terms-at uni he had control of the situation, he made my ife hell. He couldnt even stop at abusing me (i still cant say the R word out loud.handy eh?), he had to stick the knife in more and more everyday.
even my mum didnt believe me when i told her. If even your own mum doesnt take you seriously, then who the hell else is going to? SHe was so busy being angry about everything else-being a uni dropout, a team GB dropout, having a termination, that she just wasnt prepared to take anything else that i said. Because she must have had such a high opinion of me, NOT.
I hate liverpool-i hate the place, i hate the associations it has.I hat the atmosphere-fuck ot, i hate everything about it (im sorry if your scouse and reading this, im hoping you understand). I dont want to BE THERE, see all the old places, and feel like i did then all over again.It was all such a misery. And i dont want to see anyone, especially considering the 'support' HE has up there.
Im scared, im sick of being me, and im sick of being alone

Oh Vicki, i would give anything to be in the UK and come and hold onto you and try to give you more support to get through it.
I can't begin to say how sorry i am for what you are going through and i hate that this is happening to such a beautiful person - you.
You are beautiful, and so incredibly strong,it blows my mind.
Please hang on, sweetheart.
Hugging you,

I know exactly what you mean--I used to wish for those kind of car accidents too so that I wouldn't have to do things. But I think you're right--putting it off won't make it go away. And horrible as it is, this way it will be over now. I think the scary thing for me was that I could never have control of the situation--it was always my father who did--and so I know exactly how you feel. I always felt like it was his word against mine and who was going to believe me? But you're doing the right thing by doing this--because this way you're making sure you've done what you can to see that he doesn't get away with it. And even if he does, at least you've done that. It may not seem like it helps but I think it does.

Things won't be like this forever Vic. I can't imagine how hard all this must be, but keep hanging in there.

You just have to keep going, kitten. Don't let him/the situation make you hurt yourself anymore. If you just keep on fighting forwards, baby step by baby step, you'll get to the other side, and be able to get on with your life.
You can do it. You can you can you can. Sending you all my strength
