I Was Bullied
The first thing Jean-Pierre done to me was whip me with a fishing rod. It hurt, and when he saw the weal on my back he laughed. That was three weeks two days after we first arrived in Toronto.
It confused me why he wanted to live in Toronto when he was from Montreal, but I guess I learnt that with the bruises he gave me in subsequent weeks.
The incidents would always make him loving, and he was very gentle in his lovemaking, so I was forgiving. But the severity of his flips got worst, so that by the time we had been together eight months I really needed to go to the ER after each time!
I got pregnant, and he wasn't pleased! So I had a miscarriage. I was determined I wasn't going to get pregnant again, but when he found my pills I got beaten for not loving him. If I loved him, I would have his babies.
I escaped just over a year after I moved to Canada, to a women's refuge called Sistering. They were brilliant! I got medical help for the damage he had done me, and after a few months they had me out working at a women's cooperative where I managed pretty quickly to save enough money to return to Europe, by way of the cheapest flight out of Toronto to Dublin.
