Supportive thread - Anyone just left or wanting to leave an abusive relationship?

[pearshapedmim]

I'm out of it and I'm struggling. I won't go back but it would be good to talk to and share with those who understand. Anyone want to share? Would be lovely to get a good supportive thread going x

I left one over twenty years ago now. I still have nightmares about it now. Destroyed my trust in people and in myself. I still get triggered at times because of the sexual abuse. 20 years later! It’s taken me years to let myself feel angry with him and then sad for my younger self. I think I was very brave for leaving as you are. x

Well done. How are you feeling? Understandable that you are struggling. Do you have support?

I am here with you. My partner was arrested yesterday after I reported (another) sexual assault. Life is upside down. I am sorry you have been hurt, I hope you have good support out there.

I don’t really know what I need to do next. I have to tell my children something today because he has been released.

Try to stay strong, we are worth more than what we have left x
