(TW SA) Continuing support & sharing things…

[PinkPoetAgaiin]

Hi again everyone,

Making a new thread as some of the lovely ladies who have been supporting me for over a month now suggested I can continue to share my thoughts & feelings dealing with sexual & financial abuse (& other things) from my husband who I’ve been with since I was 18 (15 years).

Will be on and off for a bit as young DC is unwell at the moment and that’s taking all my energy.

I am not yet at the point of leaving - please don’t shout at me for being a bad mum. I did get a lot of criticism on my last thread for not getting them out immediately and I just can’t for reasons I explained.

Life feels heavy, but I’m focusing on DC at the moment ❤️

I’m read Gisele Pelicot’s memoir. Her husband / rapist told her, when he’d photograph her in her underwear against her will, that she should be grateful he still found her attractive. Really reminded me of this situation.

And when faced with the actual film footage of the rape, for some time Gisele refused to believe it was her husband, even though she could visually see it was him. Horrific.

I hope your therapy session was helpful today, Poet. You had a lot to cover. How did you get on with the new woman?

Hopefully you had a fruitful session with new therapist and you have a new perspective on your situation.

How are you doing Poet? Hope you are okay.
