I left my Husband of 30yrs due to Domestic abuse and Violence. I left 20mnths ago and have bipolar and Agraphobia but everyone believes my Estranged husband. I had to leave with nothing and building a New Home and finding myself is the Hardest thing I've ever done but everyone blames me for leaving after 30yrs did I fail

You are the exact opposite of a failure. What you've done takes outrageous courage!

No, of course not. It takes a huge amount of courage to do what you have done and to keep going.

Most people don't really want to know the details of what happened as it can cast a light into their own relationships.

Have you started divorce proceedings yet? Do you have support from Women's Aid?

No you did the best thing. How are you doing at the moment? Do things feel more settled in your new place?

Thankyou so much all. Yes I have support from IDAS and Mental health Team. Thing's feel better but still feel scared. I really do appreciate the support 🙏 Bless you all

Thankyou so much UmbrellaEllaEla. Thankyou To All. I'm just doubting myself. I'm struggling to finish my home but I will do it. Haven't started divorce proceedings as can't afford to but no contact is the best X
