we've been asked to have stories on here that were a short-term relationship stories. And we were

looking for a specific type to put on, and we got

in touch with Heather, and her story is one of two months, but a lot happened in these two

months. So a really big thank you to Heather for being here with us today. You're about to hear

the story of someone who was conned and a love bombing played a huge role. And now I'm going to

get out of my way and your way. Heather, the floor is now yours. So I grew up in a two-parent household.

Both of my parents were college-educated. It was very much so a loving, supportive household,

but there were some toxic elements as well. And what I mean toxic elements, I mean

verbal abuse from my father. And that verbal abuse, you know, I was always a heavy set young

girl. And either my parents would would make comments, you know, to me that I would be pretty if I lost weight or you're such a pretty girl, but you would look even better if you lost weight, or my dad would call me out of my name, like derogatory slander for, you know, heavy fat or,

you know, just all of those negative things that you should not say to your child.

And, you know, then it was backed up with, oh, okay, we're going to diet.

I was always on diet. They never worked.

And so I feel like that childhood trauma carried on into adolescence when I got to middle school,

when I get to high school, because the first love that you receive should be from your father if you're a girl, I would think.

And so because that wasn't there.
