I survived him

[Notavictimbutasurvivor]

I regularly used to post on here using numerous different names.

Some were imsogross amongst others. I would write what I was going through then change my name and runaway.

I don't know if any of you read my threads but I have an amazing update!

After 18 years of abuse on the 10th January I finally got the courage to kick my exes sorry butt to the curb.

He's currently on remand for crimes against myself and looking at 12 years.

I've been so embarrassed to write on here but tonight I just want to shout out to the world what he had done to me. What he has taken from me.

My strength is dwindling and I feel like I'm going to have a breakdown

Start talking and don't stop. Talk to the police, your social worker, your doctor, WA, council, DV support worker, court prosecutor, just anybody that may have anything to do with this. Tell them (over and over if need be) that you have been threatened with retaliation and that you fear for yourself and your children. Make it clear to them that you are desperate and will take whatever accommodation they can find for you out of the area. Even if you have to bunk up in a bedsit or shelter for awhile.

I BELIEVE YOU. We all do.

He is the nightmare, you are the innocent victim, never forget that. We are all supporting you on here and you should be so very proud of taking your Dcs away to a better future.

Please don't dwell on the past look to the future, past all this chaos is a calm and happy future for you and your DCs away from him and his hateful family.

Take the good advice on here to talk to all the organisations that can help constantly.

When you have a rotten day remember how far you have come to move on and focus on tomorrow being better.

You may feel really crap but you are still representing hope for all those other women who have not yet taken the leap to leave.

His girlfriend is trying to get into my head. They're trying to scare me off.

I've told my social worker and my support worker but it's just like I'm talking to myself.

Don't get me wrong they're brilliant but they want me to stay in the area because my son is in his final year at school

Is she scaring you via Facebook, or how ?

Yes it was on Facebook. I deleted my original account and set one up just for family under a different name but some how she found me.

I've deleted that account too. I report everything to the police

Maybe best to stay off FB until this is over?

Yeah I am. I was only using it for family anyway and to play stupid games.
