This time will be different...
Grace Ryan, 32, from Co Tipperary
Opening the letter that had been posted through my front door, I smiled. You are beautiful, it said, handwritten.
I continued to read all about the life of my mystery man.
He was open and honest about his past, which impressed me.
He had been troubled by drink, but he’d had treatment and was now sober.
Been married but it didn’t work out, he said truthfully.
The letter was signed from Christopher.
Christopher Mulready, 27, was a friendly face who worked with my brother John.
I tried to justify his horrible addictions
John had given him my address, and soon Christopher came to visit me.
We got on really well, and after four months, he moved in
