I'm posting this because I've been reading the messages Reeva Steenkamp sent to Oscar Pistorius and it made me feel sick, because I've seen it all before. Because it's what's happening to me.
We've been going out for 18 months. It started fine, then we moved in together. It was too soon, I know that now, but like I say things were good so I didn't see why not. Then it started. He started checking my phone. He would only let me go out if he was with me. Then he stopped me going out altogether. He doesn't like me seeing my parents. I'm round there and he'll be ringing me every 20 minutes asking me when I'm going to be back, texting me even more often. He accuses me of cheating on him. He accuses me of lying to him. He's cheated on me. He goes out by himself. He doesn't see the hypocrisy.
He takes my money so I can't do anything with it. My money goes into his account.
He's possessive. He's controlling. I've let it happen. I'm letting it happen.
I want to join the Royal Navy. He's stopping me.
He says I abuse him.
He cut his arm with a big knife once when we were arguing and said "if it wasn't me it would have been you".
He's never hit me, but he's always threatening me with it.
He says he'll ruin my life. He says "you don't want me as an enemy".
I don't have any friends anymore.
He tells me how worthless I am, how I'm a bad person. He chucks my stuff out the window.
He never says sorry. I always say sorry to him.
I'm really, really scared.
