I was the happiest girl alive. I was loving my life more and more each day. I lived in a beautiful house located on the seafront of a small seaside town in the West of England. I lived with my amazing husband and my adorable newborn baby girl, everything was perfect. Nobody would have thought that an ordinary 20 year old woman would be so full of joy. It was like a dream come true for me, I had everything that I ever wanted; a family, a nice home and a stunning area to live. I had the job that I had always wanted and I had enough money to get whatever I needed. Everyday felt
like luxury to me, I had the best life that I could have ever asked for. But... This all began to change....
My whole life just shattered in front of me. All I can think of is all of the amazing times that me and Danny had spent together... All of the fun times, all of the amazing adventures we went on. But every now and then, the bad things come across my mind... Our arguments, our fights... Then I question myself; why did I bother staying with him? What good did I get out of it? I know that I had the most beautiful baby girl but I still got treated horribly by him. Darcy was so cute when she was a baby, she had short blonde hair with a curl in the middle of her forehead. She had deep blue eyes and chubby rosy cheeks. She was a small baby because she was born 3 months early but she was so adorable. He used to manipulate me, blackmail me, make me believe that he isn't a bad person. Deep down I knew that he wasn't always a good person but if I didn't agree with him... He would... Abuse me. I couldn't fight him, he was much stronger than me, I couldn't handle him. I spent many nights crying and breaking down in front of baby Darcy, even though she didn't understand me, it helped to let out all of the pain. I used to ask myself questions like ; But what would happen if we broke up? But how often would Danny see Darcy? Would he move far away or will he live nearby? Would I ever get to see him again? Would we ever get back together? I love him dearly but I will never recover... I've had to go to counselling after what he put me through...I've had to have help from professionals... Is he really worth all of this? He caused me so much pain and stress. I am staying with him for the sake of Darcy but maybe it would be better if I got rid of him. He used to spend a lot of nights away from home and he used to tell me that he was away working but after he got sacked, for not coming to work enough, I started to question myself about what he was really doing. I wish I had the confidence to just ask him but he brought me down so much that I couldn't face the argument that would have been caused. Danny was controlling, I wasn't aloud to go out for lunch with any friends apart from Carla and Naomi, I couldn't go out in the evening to a pub or to a restaurant unless it was with him, I couldn't live a free life. I never really realised how badly he really treated me...
