      Hi beautiful strong wonderful powerful ladies,
      I wanted to just post to say don’t ever give up hope
      Don’t ever stop hoping that your life will change
      Easy for me to say right…Wrong!
      I didn’t leave my ex overnight and jump into where and who I am today
      The journey continues everyday
      But I never gave up hope that day by day my life couldn’t improve on the day before and I still believe that and find the good and positive in everything around me
      Please do not ever think that you cant change the situation you are in, however long you have been in it or however trapped you feel
      Just have the intention that one day you will leave … and you will my angels
      My ex was an abusive violent man and I had no plan as to how I could ever escape him but in my mind I began to, until one day I actually did
      I still to this day don’t know how exactly how I managed it … I just knew that this was not going to be my life forever and never gave up the hope that I would return to being me again
      Get real with yourself, get honest, face your fears and sit with the uncomfortable emotions burred deep inside you… this will give you strength to leave the past behind and open the door to your next chapter
      Sending you all continued love and support
      Darcy xx

      Thank you so much for this. It seems so logical and easy to leave, yet it isn’t. I know I’m further on my journey than I was, lots of it thanks to this forum, but this post makes me feel less like a failure. Hopefully 2022 is my year, as well as all of the others who are struggling out there. X*x

        Remember this is your journey and it is a process
        Its step by step, however small those steps may feel they all count
        Use all the energy you have wisely, not for making yourself feel bad about the fact you have not yet left … it will happen so keep the faith … alot of it I know is blind faith
        Keep the focus on you, he doesn’t need to know what’s going on in your mind … get it strong and focused and my angel you can achieve anything this year
        Sending you hope, love and continued support

      Happy New Year to you Darcy thank you for your wonderful post and happy new year to everyone here. You are so right there is always hope – perhaps only those who have truly walked through hopelessness can know what that means. Hold on to hope no matter where you are on the journey. It can be hard to see and I find that too abuse and PTSD and guilt – but hold on through those times. Someone somewhere is going through the same thing and just as on New Year’s Eve as every day the sun sets and so it will rise tomorrow. Set your intention for 2022 – what’s your intention? My wish is for safety for us all and hope always. For me I will have a home of my own for me and my family at long long last 🙏❤️

      @Darcy your words always inspire and are beautiful. Ive said before and most likely will say again and again i cant see a way out I just carry on each day in the jope it will get better on its own. Your words make me feel less of a failire i guess makes me think that its ok to not know where you are going, to not have the strength to leave. Thank you. Happy new year to you I hope you continue to grow heal and love xx

      Thank you for this post. I felt sure I would be gone by new year but I’m working very hard to trust myself to know when it is the best time. And things haven’t quite fallen in to place just yet but I do believe they will.
      Sending everyone here peace and love xx
