Partner was arrested for DV in the home and I'm finally getting the help I've been too frightened to ask for.
It's been an issue for years, the reason why I cut so many friends out, why I was so often off at work, why I lost my self confidence.
He's not been at the house and yes I need to get that sorted as we both own it and have 3 dc but, I went shopping yesterday without worrying what I'd bought and whether it would upset him.(Just a grocery shop!)
I've got so much to look forward to, and as I said before the journey's nowhere near over with the house and the kids but I'm going to get there.
Received some fantastic support for WA and the local services- there is a large waiting list for things like counselling , but I'm on my way. There is finally peace in the house.
Pointless post really but hope someone out there can take something from that brave decision. Because it is incredibly brave, and there are both good and bad days - but I have my life and my kids - which I know both of which I could have lost on numerous occasions.
Happy Sunday All
