Well I am awake early, to say hello to thread 2!
Got me thinking of a friend who thought she had lost her three children under similar circumstances.
It took a while, she’s had physical illnesses to deal with, but watching her get her life back has been something else.
She built herself back up. Her children are fine and young adults now. As well as writing about her experiences she also helps deliver initiatives on DV to
all sorts of significant people.
She goes into schools and talks to young people about recognising the signs of controlling behaviour.
I can remember the start of her journey to freedom she started writing everything down in little notebooks she kept in her hold-all.
It really can be done. And the family and friends who had been convinced she was the problem were ashamed that they had believed otherwise. She took it in her stride and bridges were rebuilt.
I think when you know the core of you is decent, you go
with that, and you keep returning to it. It’s easy to get tricked by someone you trust, but in the end your own decency will rear its head.
Anyway, that’s a bit deep for 6 am, but I have been inspired by reading the stories of other posters who have made it through.
Morning, cookie monsters! 🍪
