      Hi

      So I’ve decided that I have finally had enough and have made my plans to leave.

      I know that it’s not going to be easy and I have a long road ahead but just some words of reassurance that it’s going to be okay would go a long way!

      Thank you <3

      Thank you! I’m so scared to go if I’m honest, I’m having to leave behind so much of my life and the usual self doubt has already begun, is it the right thing to do? is it really that bad here? how will he feel? can I really go no contact? But I am determined to try and stay strong and stick to the plan!

      Only myself and the person I am going to know of the plan, I didn’t want to tell anyone else and it just become another one of those times where I don’t end up actually going through with it, but I’m thinking I should let my DV advisor know just for some added support.

      Xx

        Stay strong keep in mind all that you wish for in life all that you can have when you are free.
        And go.
        If you trust your DV advisor then yeah tell her she may be able to help.
        A huge good luck let us know x*x

      seekingvalidation just go for it. I’ve always thought if you make a decision and it doesn’t turn out how you want it to you can make another one.
      I never realised when I first came on the forum how many of us are living in a DA/DV situation. And for some that’s the best it’ll be. We’ll never get out.
      If you can, I wish you all the best, and you will be fine. It isn’t the end – it’s a new beginning. Make the most of it 💕
