EP54 Ute Susan Weiss - Abuse over time....

  • I was born on 23rd Feb 1962 in Stuttgart, Germany.
  • Having a very imaginative mind I was reading books from a very young age. I´m still reading a lot and I love watching movies.
  • I started traveling when I was a teenager and learning about other countries and cultures opened my mind very much.
  • After school I worked as an au-pair in Winchester and went to a language school studying English.
  • I wanted to be a vet but didn´t get into vet school. I studied Agrobiology at the University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart instead.
  • My studies enabled me to travel as well: I worked on farms in Switzerland, New Zealand, Germany and participated in a student exchange program with the University of Georgia, Athens, USA
  • After University I didn´t do my PhD - as everyone expected - but went on a trip around the world as a backpacker for almost 1 1/2 years.
  • When I came back to Germany I was broke but happy. I didn´t feel like pursuing an academic career. Instead I found a job at a little publisher´s at Lake Constance. I worked as an editor, secretary, translator, horse handler etc. We published a working horse magazine. That´s where I met Henry (not his real name).
  • When I turned 30 I wanted to start a family and have a little farm in the country :) Before that I actually never imagined myself as being a mother.
  • Henry wanted the same and I felt he was my soul mate. Yeah. Love bombing here we come .....
  • Our dating was insane, intense and crazy - I´ve never felt more loved. I got pregnant and we got married.
  • He got more abusive. After son no. 2 life with him was hell - but not always. We had good times too.
  • When my youngest said: I wish Daddy was dead I knew something was very wrong.
  • he moved out in 2002, we got divorced in 2005, financial abuse stopped in Oct 2020.
  • After he had moved out my sons and I had a great family life. I started working as an English teacher and later on as a Biology and Health Care teacher as well. I work in adult education and at a vocational college.
  • I live in the Black Forest right now, near Freudenstadt. (That´s the northern part of the Black Forest)
  • My sons are wonderful grown up men of 28 and 25. One lives in Munich, the other in Gießen (near Frankfurt)
  • I am no contact with Henry
  • I´ve written my story „I wish Daddy was dead". I want to finally get it published and that´s what I´m researching at the moment: how to get a book published.
  • Besides reading and watching films I love training dogs. I have got two dogs. George is a certified search and rescue dog and Loony is an apprentice search and rescue dog. George is a Border Collie and Loony is a Spanish Waterdog.
