I’m thinking if you too, every day.
We are all rooting for you.
Thanks for PMing starks.

LockdownLoopy · 13/07/2020 13:26

Hope you’re doing ok today OP, we’re here for you. You’re doing great

ThickFast · 13/07/2020 17:03

Just keep trying. Something will come up eventually. It can just take time to find somewhere safe. Temp accommodation could work if it’s somewhere he doesn’t know where you are?

Thanks everyone struggling to log in at the moment but I will log back in later thank you

Hello folks, can anyone do the ‘late shift’ PMing the OP?
I’ve got a stupidly early start in the morning so won’t be able to tonight.
Might be safer for us to PM her in any event?
Not sure if the thread has been compromised, but last night we were talking about maybe starting a different one with a more ‘neutral’ title.
Posters are welcome to PM me as well.

@lovemychildren27

I hope you’re ok OP I think about you every day, and wish I could do something to help more than virtual support to let you know that I and everyone here believes you are strong enough to do this and to know what is the right thing for you and your children

dublingirl66 · 13/07/2020 21:50

Absolutely no need to apologise to any of us! We are with you all the way, OP. You’re time will come. Hope you’ve had a better day today.

Guardsman18 · 13/07/2020 23:01

You're not an idiot. It's bloody difficult. If there's anything we can do, please know we'll try x

dublingirl66 · 13/07/2020 23:39

Your time will come

So true !!!

In my case I left and went back
Left went back
Got hit more
Went back

Etc !!!!

It is so so very hard on so many levels
And the FEAR
Oh my god the fear

You sound like you are being so brave
I'm sorry the past while has not been easy
Just know that life will get better and so many good people exist who are willing to help

Please know thisl
Sending you lots of good wishes

Robbabank · 14/07/2020 00:11

You don’t owe anyone an apology. You don’t owe us anything.
Everyone is posting because we care and want to let you know that you are valuable and important and we hold you in our minds and hearts and we ‘know’ how hard this is.

This is NOT easy. You need time to plan it and line things up so that it happens safely. And it takes time to get your head around everything and be sure that the moment has come. So don’t apologise for anything, just keep true to your instincts and take one step at a time along this path.

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 14/07/2020 00:20

@lovemychildren27 please don’t even think about apologising to anyone here. Today, tomorrow, next week, next year there will always be support here.

You can only do as much as you can, but step by step you will get there. ‘Baby steps’ are still steps. And you’ll be supported here every baby step of the way.

In the meantime, please make sure there’s no way he can access your browsing history. Change your passwords, your username on here, anything you can. And please keep posting when you can Flowers

Thighdentitycrisis · 14/07/2020 00:30

@lovemychildren27
I’m up and awake, you can pm me if you need, but hope you have a better night tonight. It’s truly shit that you are forced into this situation and every one here is behind you and will support you any way they can if you need.

Lifeisconfusing · 14/07/2020 01:57

I’m still up Iv read your whole thread. You should be so proud every day is a little step closer to being free of this horrid so called man.
Pm me if you want me to help you in anyway.

Hiddentext · 14/07/2020 07:28

@lovemychildren27 I have no advice but I have been thinking about you a lot and check the thread every day to make sure you are ok. I'm so glad you have lots of support here from women who have been in similar situations to you and got out.

ShesMadeATwatOfMePam · 14/07/2020 07:46

I've read your whole thread op you're so brave. I'm so sorry you're in this situation.

Carrie90 · 14/07/2020 08:22

I feel so sad reading this thread but so hopeful for you OP. Similar but different situation here, originally clicked on the post for advice and will be making use of some of the links provided. Much love OP, here if you need another person to listen and understand.

mummyof4kids · 14/07/2020 08:38

Just read this whole thread and my hearts breaking for you and your kids, your fear jumps out from your posts.
I really hope you get the help and can leave safely with your kids, don't let fear of afterwards stop you. I've been there to and although it's terrifying the relief afterwards will be immense.
Please call the police if you can, they will help you and keep you safe

dublingirl66 · 14/07/2020 14:49

So many of us here

Just wondering if police is a good option?
Or if someone on here can make some calls for you?
I'm happy to do so
Sending you lots of best wishes

lovemychildren27 · 14/07/2020 21:50

Guardsman18 · 14/07/2020 22:27
