Dancing wasn’t the only thing I was good at. I had a good singing voice and an ability to become someone else at will. This might have been as a result of the conflict raging inside me, or could be a natural ability that merely leant itself to my tendency to hide behind the other me.
I also discovered that I could run, I was above average intelligence and until he messed me up, I did really well at school. I was a happy, lively and confident little girl, living a normal life and will always wonder how I would have turned out if things had happened differently.
I dreamed of growing up, getting married and having children of my own. I dreamed of being successful and happy. I dreamed of having a nice home and living to enjoy my life for many years. But I never dreamed that I would allow someone else to control my life, no matter how remotely. Nor did I dream that I would eventually try to take my own life.
