Well I am 18 and had been seeing my girlfriend (joy) for about 2 months, i thought that it was love and the relationship moved very fast and he decided that we should take the extra step and get engaged even though we had only been together for 2 months! I felt very uneasy about his proposal as we also lived very far away from each other. When i said no to his proposal, because i dident see the rush, he hit me and told me i was stupid! The abuse went on for a little while untill i really couldent take anymore, i knew that he was cheeting on me too and so i decided to leave him. I managed to leave with only a few bruises and went home to my mum. My mum asked what had happend but i dident tell her.

In the following weeks after spliting up with John i was very withdrawn and upset, i felt used, cheap, hurt and angree and i also felt that i would never be able to trust another man again, i stopped going out and my parents were getting really worried about me.

That month i dident have a period and when i started to think that mayby there ws something wrong i did a pregnancy test. As you can imagine i was very shocked when the test came out positive! I spoke to my mum about it for a long time, we discussed all the options but i decided that there was no way i could have a termination. I decided to have the baby but not tell John. Just as i was getting back on my feet and feeling a bit more positive and getting used to the idea of being pregnant disaster struck and i was taken to hospital with severe stomach cramps, I had lost my darling baby.

Once i was back home my family kept a very close eye on me as they were all very worried about me! I decided to throw myself back into my education and go back and start again at university.

Three weeks after i lost the baby i was chatting to a friend of mine on the internet in a chat room and a bloke started talking to me, i went along with it and we started chatting on a regular basis, then i gave him my phone number and then we sent pictures of each other and before i knew where i was we were arranging to meet! I was so nervous as i was not truely over John and was very scared that Micheal would be the same as him! My friends backed me up and my best mate came with me to meet him.

Meeting Micheal was the best thing i have ever done! He is an absolute angel to me, he treats me like a princess buying me presents, takeing me out, sending me little cards and stuff to tell me how much he loves me! I cannot describe in words how much i love Micheal, he is my world and he has shown me the true meaning of love and respect! I wouldent be without him now! We have been together nearly 4 months now and it feels as though we have known eachother a lifetime! We have already spoken about marriage and children, i just hope to god that we get there because he really does mean everything to me!

Even if you have been badely hurt there is always someone out there for you, finding Micheal was worth all of my previous experience with John, it has made me realise how lucky iam to have a man that loves and cherishes me as much as he does!

Good luck

One day a boy was standing on the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful and fresh heart in the valley. A large crowd gathered and they all accepted his heart for it was perfect heart. There was not any mark or defect in it.
The crowd agreed that it was the perfect and fresh heart that they had ever seen. The boy was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful, fresh, and perfect heart. Suddenly, an old man appeared in the crowd and said, "Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine?" The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly. It was full of scars, it had places where pieces had been removed, and other pieces put in. But they didn't fit quite right and there were several rough edges. In fact, in some places there were deep scratch where whole pieces were missing.
The people started- how can he say his heart is perfect? And so on. The young man looked at old man's heart and saw its condition and laughed. He said, "You must be joking. Compare your heart with mine, mine is perfect, and yours is broken and full of wound and tears."
"Yes" said the old man. "Yours is perfect looking and I would never deal with you. But you see every scares in my heart represents the person to whom I have given my love- I tear out my piece of my heart and give it to them and often they give me a piece of their heart, I fit into the empty place of my heart. But because the pieces are not exact, I have some rough edges, which I appreciate because they remind me the love we shared together. Some times I have given my heart away and they didn't. So, I have some empty scratch. Although these scratch are painful, it stays open. Reminding me of love I have for these people. And I hope someday they may return and fill the space I am waiting. So, now do you see what true beauty is?"
The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks, walked up to the old man and took a piece from his heart and handed to the old man with his trembling hands. The old man took his gift and placed it in his heart and took a piece from his and placed it in the wounded young man's heart.
It fits but not perfectly, as there were some rough edges.
The young man looked his heart. Not perfect anymore but more beautiful than he ever saw. Since love from old man flowed to his heart. They hold their arms and walked side by side together.thank
