This might be long. I've just finished another course of therapy ( CAT Therapy best I've ever had).5
Maybe a follow on from the thread about prisoners.
Some of you might have read about this before as I've posted on other threads when it's been appropriate.
I'll just try and keep more to the facts.
I was 30 a single parent and met "V" on girls night out.
He was charming and we were into the same music / alternative fashion etc. He got on great with my daughter.
A year later we bought an house together.
Then it all changed.
I had to go into hospital for surgery (gynaecology) it was a major laparotomy and l was in 3 weeks) when l got home he had changed.. he expected me to get straight to doing the housework/ cooking etc.
We had a big argument one night over it.. he hit me.. kicked me out of bed physically.. l went to get my daughter up .. l got dressed and got my bag and was trying to get out of the house.. he hit me again and wouldn't let me get my shoes and coat.. argument continues and he tells me he slept with someone else while l was in hospital ( he never came to see me once.. said he was tired after work) my daughter was at my mums
Anyhow l managed to get out of the house with no shoes and my daughter in my arms ( she was 3 years old) . Village train station was back of our house.
I got on it got to my Mums.. we ended up living with her for 3 years..but during in that first year.. l bumped into him one night while out with friends.. he followed me from the pub.. l was about to go tell a police man when next thing l was waking up in hospital 6 months later..
He threw me under a moving bus.
I was put into a coma.
Had so many operations.
Left severely disabled.
In those early days l managed much better with my disabilities.. as I've got older ( now 66) things have got worse.
I've had accidents... falling and breaking my pelvis and hips ( again).
I did go on to meet someone else and marry and have another daughter 8 years later..but l had to have total hysterectomy after l had her because of complications. ..think this contributed to us getting divorced... I haven't had sex scince.. l now don't have a full vagina.. l have damaged internal organs.
I sometimes use an electric wheelchair..l do manage to live my life to fullest l can.. but l wake up in pain every day and l never which parts of my body will be effected.
I am bladder and bowel incontinent. The list goes on.
I do remember some things while l was in the coma.
My wonderful Mum God bless her soul.. really looked after me.
V got life in prison.
In the beginning l was told where he was.. what was happening etc.
He was once up for parole but got refused.
There was a riot in the prison and he bit off an officers testicle.
He won't now get ever released.
I don't think he should get so many prevliges.
8 years later l got a few million pay out.
They had to wait and see how my life was. What impact it had on me long term.
I hope he dies a painful death.
