“Public Interest” my Arse

I mentioned again to my mother when she asked me if I had my diary over here with me – she knows fine fucking well I don’t but alas, evidently she hadn’t been through my luggage yet -

“Mum, I’ve already explained this to you & to the police that it’s not a diary…”

-at which point she cut me off to say-

“No, it’s a journal”

*Rolls eyes*

Yes, that’s exactly what it is. It’s not a diary it’s a journal.

Not unlike her 2 cents during my rant about the Messiah’s trip round Europe & the fact that none of these fuckers even have a vote anyway.

“How do they not have a vote like?!”

{{Crickets}}

“Well….would you like me to draw you a map? – Here’s *Europe* & here’s *America*…”

So I mentioned that the police have been chapping at the bit to speak to me. Well, Bear phoned this new Sergent on my behalf yesterday & tried to rein his ass in a bit – I do not want to speak to anyone right now, just like I don’t want anything done right now, especially not whilst I’m here. However he phoned me today to “introduce himself” & I tell you, I couldn’t get a fucking word in edge-ways.

I was already aware of this but he told me again that, depending on the report, he will have to act in the “public interest” & march ahead because of my abusers two children….

Luckily Bear had told him last night that if he did such a thing, he’d be on his own because I sure as hell wouldn’t be cooperating because like I said, he didn’t even give me time to breathe.

Point is, those two little brats are either an issue or not. Make a fucking decision right?!

And you know, three months ago I gave the word to get the ball rolling, over a month ago someone actually got off their arse & took the bloody statement, & no, it’s still not here yet. So, tell me, in all that time how many “other victims” has he abused? Because wasn’t it oh so important that I make my statement against him to “save the children“?! I hardly think another 9 weeks is going to make any difference, do you?!

But seriously, he’s going to read that statement & see that one of that bastards kids, his daughter, is the very age I was when he started abusing me, so lets face it, he’s going to go ahead.

Before terminating the call he managed to slip in that he & the other Sergent would be coming to speak with me once the statement had been received.

Let me say this nice & slow – No, they fucking will not be popping in on me to discuss what’s going to happen next, because nothing is happening next until I leave the goddamn country.

Not two minutes after the phone call ended, Bear picked up from his end & tried to phone this guy to give him what for, but what do you know, he was miraculously off-duty, what with it being a Friday afternoon & all. So I was basically a last minute job that he hurried along so he could bugger off & enjoy his weekend.

Nice huh?!

  1. I literally laughed out loud when I read the bit in your post about “drawing a map”!!

    I hope the police respect your wishes. What is your biggest fear about starting this while you are over there? Is it about him, and what he might say or do while you are there? Just curious…as you know I never confronted my abuser, so I really don’t have any idea what you are going through. I guess for me, my biggest fear would be that if I was not there, the police would some how screw things up…but I am guessing we are beyond that eh? Hang in there. Keep us updated. (as if I have to ask!)

  2. I hope so too, Zoe, I really do.

    I’m beginning to wish I had never made my statement now.

    My biggest fear….honestly, I just want to feel safe, I haven’t felt safe for a long, long time & I feel safest when I’m with Bear, across the ocean. I am afraid that things might really kick off quite badly.. especially because I’m not a part of his family & therefor, I’ve always believed that they would think I was lying & would close ranks.

    I don’t feel I get the support from my family here. I wish I did & I know they try… but it just isn’t the same as having Bear physically by my side, keeping me from harm, steadying me when I stumble & picking me up when I fall.

    The biggest issue is the fact that I didn’t choose to tell anyone about the abuse. My step-father was snooping & read it in my journal. I’ve tried again & again to explain to him, my mother & others that I didn’t tell anyone, because I wasn’t ready. I’m still not ready & I don’t know if I ever will be.

    They tell me I’m in control, but I’m so not you know?

    Thanks for your comment Zoe :)

  3. Control….the biggest factor in all of this….
    Not only were you hurt, but you don’t get to chose how you deal with that hurt.
    I am so sorry about your family, and I am so glad that you DO have Bear to walk you through all of this.

  4. Oh but apparently I “shouldn’t be worried about it” nor even “thinking about it” because it’s “not important”.

    “Is it on your mind like?” says my mother.

    I could just scream!

    Well not fucking shit sherlock!!! Goddamn it!!!!!!!!

  5. [...] are You Afraid of? After re-reading a recent post & the comments I’ve been thinking about my abuser & my situation. I feel like I’m in a swirling [...]
