I was no contact for a while. I got tired of being homeless and sleeping in cheap rentals on floors with cockroaches running over me. He had a spare room.

I was making decent progress saving money to move out to a nicer place, but then I got sick, and now I'm disabled and I can't keep a job, even working from home.

It was a toss up between two fairly shit options, and being blunt, he's never raped me. I was sexually assaulted twice when I was on my own. I sleep better here. I'm not constantly cold. I get to keep my dog.

It's not all that bad, tbh. You get used to living with someone who blows up over nothing. You adapt. You learn how to act around them and around other people to cover up their behaviour. I've been doing this most of my life and at this point it's easier than being honest and forming real relationships with nice people.

When I was a kid people were jealous of me. They thought I was really lucky to have so many nice things. Sometimes it's easier to be what everyone thinks you are. It's a nice lie.
Even people who knew or suspected still thought that I was lucky. My grandmother grew up in a church run orphanage. She was just happy I had food and clothes. I think the only people who tried to help at all were my closest neighbours, because they had to hear everything. I spent a lot of time staying with the people who lived on either side of me and the lady directly across the street. I know some of them tried to talk my mum into leaving when I was little. He was worse when she wasn't home.
