Mitch - Not Buchannon

Mitch was the most stable of us growing up. Little did we know things would take a massive turn around when she returned from a 6 month round the world trip.


Growing up Mitch had a steady boyfriend, Terry (very hot!), from the age of about 15 until she was 19. From then things didn't really go down hill, she muddled along through uni and did the same afterwards until deciding to go travelling.

On her return I think she had some kind of mid-life crisis (hopefully not actually "mid" life though or life wont be too long) and decided it was time to settle down....she was only 22!! So anyway, she settled (yes settled - she could've done a hell of a lot better!!) for the first boy that came along! He was bad for her! Things went ok with Tom to begin with and they moved in together (later Mitch would actually confess she knew she shouldn't move in with him and she didn't want to, but she said it just felt like the next thing that was supposed to happen). To start with things were good, she enjoyed "playing" house and they were getting ok okay. Cracks started to show when he hit the bars every night though and she just stayed home. She secluded herself from the rest of us - wouldn't answer calls, return emails or texts, but because she had always told us she was ok and things were good with Tom no-one suspected a thing!

That was in the August 2007. I kept texting every few weeks, as I do with most of my friends if we're not in regular contact, but it wasn't until Valentines day 2008 that I actually heard back. And it was bad. Mitch's mum actually text me back and explained what had happened. I guess Tom had been mentally abusing her, it started by calling her fat and in the end he was telling her she was disgusting and had the body of a 7-year-old boy! Tom is the most disgusting man I have ever met (and in general I love men!!!). Mitch's parents moved her out of the house (they gave her no choice) weighing 4stone 9lbs! We met at a bar and talked for hours. On the way home I cried. It was terrible! I've never seen anyone like that before! You could see all of her joints. On her shoulders you could see the skin creasing into the ball/socket joint. I felt ill and I felt terrible she had been through it all by herself.


Ok, yet another depressing story out of the way

You'll be pleased to hear that she is on the road to recovery (and I'm quite excited to reveal the details - I'm laughing as I type this - of her first sexual encounter post Tom!).

Again, I promise things will lighten up and brighten up after the history lesson is out of the way!
