You put a reader very close to the experience you describe. Your writing style is compelling. Sadly, your message is relatable to the masses. This one is a gem.

Hello Anon,
This is a stark, sore, piece. If it is reality, well consider it the flower that grows from the excrement (not my first word-choice). However, I'd be even more impressed if it is an imagined piece.
Either way, great writing. "Suspicion stirred in morning tea..." is a lovely, dark, and very English line.
If it was up to me (which it isn't) you'd win your contest. I'm no great fan of the free form, but this proves the rule, and your dismount "I hated you / with all the love /anyone could imagine" is memorable.
Top writing...
Cheers

    Hi Phil,
    Thank you so much. Your words and rating mean a lot.
    BTW it's not autobiographical :)
