I am in the early stages of taking steps towards leaving an abusive relationship (with a man).
On top of this, about three years ago I started to question my sexuality, and about two years ago, I came to the conclusion that I’m gay.
I have a therapist, I’ve been in touch with women’s aid, and a couple of other people have some understanding of the DA aspect, but my therapist aside, I don’t have anybody who I can talk to about the entire situation. I’ve tried to find local lesbian groups, but there’s just nothing near me.
I guess the sexuality aspect is not relevant to the DA aspect, and I’m worried that it might count against me if I mention it. So, whilst I’m moving forwards, I’m still living a pretence.
Just posting on the chance that somebody here has a bright idea!
