Despite all the bleak news at the minute, I was touched by her thoughtfulness.
As some of you might have read elsewhere, I am currently under lockdown in Spain. DD messaged to say, “iI know I can’t send you flowers this year, so I wracked my brain to think what you would like”.
It turns out that in my name she has paid for a “settling in” pack for a woman’s first night at a DV session, together with a session with an advocate to explain all her rights, benefits etc.
I didn’t even know this was possible, but think it needs wider publicity. Horribly there are going to be more women needing refuge places when all of this is over.
