I've always believed that Clairabelle, or Belle as she's shortened her name to was in an oblivious bubble... With no idea of what had gone on with the abuse. The other day I was listening to a song and it mentioned about people saying no to sex... And suddenly Belle told me she'd said no but he never listened so she'd just stopped telling him.

I'm devastated and struggling. Thankfully my counselling resumes Wednesday but I feel like the bottom has been pulled out from under me.

This makes him more of a monster than I ever thought.
