Abuse diary/blog

[SantaCruise]

After some rather telling replies to my last thread I am considering starting up a domestic abuse diary/blog of some kind. Little things that go on in this house I dismiss, until someone else points out that it is abusive and I think "hang on a minute, she's right - and then there was that time -" and I remember other stuff.
My head is in turmoil at the moment, do you think a blog/diary would help me sort my head out a bit or make it worse?

I didn't do a blog, but a diary was incredibly helpful to me in seeing patterns in our relationship.

Am not a fan of blogs

I think your energy would be better utilised in making plans to leave your husband, tbh

And a diary can be very helpful if there is a dispute over child residence.

Plus something to re-read after you've left when you find yourself having a wobble!

You could blog it in this thread. You wouldn't be the first

(You might have to put up with some people 'shouting' at you though!)

Diary essential for many reasons. If things get really nasty between you, you may need it to quote examples, and when you look back and see the level and frequency of what you are experiencing it will help you make any decisions you need to make.

Absolutely write a diary - things happened to me that I have no recolection of when they happened - the timeline and documentation is imperative to keep your facts straight if things go further with police or court or things.

I kept a diary: it was very useful when I got divorced as I used it to convince a Judge not to reveal my address or where my son went to school. All paperwork went to our respective solicitors rather than to my home, this made things far less stressful as I did not have to worry that he was going to turn up drunk and abusive on my doorstep or place of work anymore.

Set up a blog but don't make it public - use it as a diary, and then you won't have to worry about keepng it hidden or losing it - it'll be waiting for you online whenever and wherever you are.
