She struggled to make friends - she felt 'different' and she just didn't understand people - what they said, what they meant. She thought school might be better, but it was just all so confusing. She was alone and scared all of the time. She was just nine when her new neighbour - an older married man, Julian - befriended her. She loved having someone who would talk to her, listen to her, a 'protector'. But she didn't like the games he wanted to play. And even after that friendship was uncovered and he left her, the men who came next told her that this was what she deserved, that this was love. But she was strong and she was determined and she was going to build a safe future for herself, however long it took.
