Moving to a different city/town

Hi there, I haven’t experienced this but wanted to bump your post up. Have you spoken to women’s aid for advice? xxxx

Yes, my only option was to leave town but I did head home”ish” so my family are now within easy distance to visit for a day.

I can’t pretend it’s been easy. I haven’t made new friends here, lockdowns have made it hard but I’ve not felt ready to hit the social scene anyway.

I’ve stayed in touch with some very supportive friends from my old life and I spend quite a bit of time on the forum. Online friends are my new normal and it works well for me.

Yes, I did. I’d spent my whole life in the same area, as did my children. We decided to leave the area and for us, it was totally the right decision. I thought I’d miss the old area as it’s the only one we’d ever known, but I don’t!

I had to relocate areas far away from my normal area as that is what was available at the time. Lost people I talked to which ultimately was good thing as he was trying to get them to reveal where I was to find me.

I discovered a different city. Saw things I never had. There was limited time there and eventually left there for bigger refuge. Both were out of area – I wanted to leave immediately due to serious concern for personal safety with little options.
