An old uni friend recently posted on Facebook a post saying she has left a violent relationship (she was married and has two small kids) and how happy she is to be free. Hundreds of messages of love and support offering any help etc etc. In the next couple of weeks there were a couple more posts about never letting anyone take her sparkle again etc. I remember thinking how sad and sending a message of support but glad she was ‘free’.
Today she has uploaded two family photos (including husband) with the tags ‘my lovely family’ or similar. All posts about leaving him deleted. Seems they’ve got back together.
We weren’t close at uni and I haven’t spoken to her or seen her in years. Obviously it’s nothing to do with me and her choice etc. but I feel so preoccupied with it all. I feel so sad for her being unsafe and also for her two children. She ended up leaving a good career to be a SAHM and recently worked as a TA (very noble profession but low paid and increases her vulnerability).
I can’t do anything but just wanted to vent. If you’re on here please leave him again he sound awful. You can do it 💕
