Three years ago, I moved in with my boyfriend. We began to have problems and argue a lot. Once he hit me and I struck him back, but mostly it was just arguing and yelling. Finally, one day he told me to move out. I had nowhere to go, so I lied to my therapist and told her my boyfriend was abusing me in order to get into a women's shelter. I lied to my parents about my boyfriend, hoping to gain their help and sympathy, but I received none.
Now, my boyfriend and I have worked things out and we've been back together for two years. Things have been wonderful. He wants me to move in with him again, and I think it could work this time because we've both matured. However, the problem is I'd have to come clean to my parents and I am terrified. They don't know I've been with him these past two years, they don't know I lied to them. I am scared about what their reactions will be.... |
