      Anyone else tried to date after DV to find many men run when they find out your a DV survivor ?

      Just finding that as soon as they find out who my ex is if they ask they disappear. Or they say they don’t want that drama even though I left him (timeframe removed by Moderator) years ago.   Feels like he has control still . However women seem to know what he does and he has a pick of who he likes.

      Hello Cat24,

      I just wanted to offer some support on your post this evening. It must be disheartening and frustrating to get this type of response when disclosing your experience of abuse.

      However, perhaps one way to look at this could be that it is a good filter for those who are not worth pursuing a relationship with. The right person will have empathy and be supportive about your experience and will not be intimidated or put off by the fact that you are a survivor of abuse.

      I’m sure other users will be able to offer support around this too.

      Take care and keep posting,
      Lisa
