Exhausted and terrified

I don’t even know where or how to start. I am stuck, completely trapped in a relationship which I’ve now been in for half of my life. He bullies, belittles, swears, gas lights and generally just treats me like utter shit. Don’t know what I want from this thread, maybe some advice or maybe just the chance to write it all down. Might be best if I bullet point. I just feel broken and some days I wonder if everyone is just better off without me.

Waahbaby, can womensaid help to find you a place?

Waaahbaby · 30/10/2021 15:16

Yep total name change fail!

Waaahbaby · 30/10/2021 15:17

I’m hoping before Xmas. Sorry. I’ve even messed this up.

You haven't messed up lovely. You just haven't made that next step YET.

You can do it - and you will 💐

Lots of people have a name-change fail on here! You can move on from this man and have the life you and your children deserve. Please keep making plans and getting yourself in a good financial position. Talk to Women's Aid and post on here - people will give good practical advice and moral support, as you've seen.

I’ve got somewhere! It’s mine. I’ve signed, I’ve paid! I’ve got 6 weeks to do the next step and get out. Thank you x

Good luck, remember you've lived with this abuse and you've got this far. You're strong and independent and a wonderful life with peace is ahead. Keep this in your mind always. You go girl!
