At the end, the horror started.
Thomas was the love of my life and turned into my biggest nightmare. We had been married for 5 years. Since my divorce almost one year ago now, he continuously stalks me, up until today. In the beginning he called me more than 130 times a day. Even at work or in the practice. I know precisely because I keep a diary. By telephone he expressed himself in a horrific and obscene manner, then begged me to come back to him before he finished by striking me with his verbal rage.
But that is not all. Thomas ordered sex toys online which he had sent and delivered to the practice and booked holiday trips online for the two of us in my name. When I brought this to his attention, the situation escalated. He had a rage attack and started to beat me up. I always thought that I knew him well enough, only to realise how wrong I was.
