How Long Had You Been Dating Before the Breakup?

1 year

Who Broke Up with Whom?

He dumped me for a dance teacher

How Did the Breakup Go Down?

We were at a friend's 17th birthday party. He went out for a smoke with this dance teacher. He was 20 and I was 15. When I went out to get something out of the car, they were kissing, so got my moblie phone out and called my father to pick me up. The breakup was the next day. When he ask me where did I get to last night, I said it was over, and he took it so bad that he locked me up for 2 weeks in his garage. I was so scared, he threatened to kill me and everything. I finally got away from him and ran all the away to my best friend's place and called the cops...that's the end of my breakup.

How Did You Get Over the Breakup?

I have really got over the breakup. It stuck to me like glue for 4 months. I couldn't sleep because I kept seeing his face and kept hearing him saying "you're going to die you little skank" but I was not the one cheating on him. It took about 1 whole year. I went to everyone to try and get my life back. I finally have after 7 whole months of help...

Lessons Learned

  • never try and help a druggo and an alcoholic. I would never do it all over again, if I did make sure the cops know about the drugs and alcohol... hope this never in my wildest dreams to anyone else
