      Just wanted to share a small positive moment here.

      I have been walking on eggshells every single day now for the last few weeks especially after constantly being told to get out of the house with my child if I try to stand up for myself and my opinions against him. Then other days he pretends like everything is normal.

      Few days ago I email Women’s Aid and finally today received a reply from them with all contact details of different region refugees and other contact details I needed.
      I also found couple of law firms that specify with domestic abuse and emailed them with questions that I had in regards of evidence collection and ways to protect myself and my child if it came to court or leaving home.

      I will be creating a step by step plan first of things I need to do if was going to leave and later will check if I have done those steps. I will have to be careful and not do everything in one day to not be too obvious that I am planning something, but I will do it eventually.

      Even though today he was screaming at me and calling me names, but I still feel positive of even taking a little step of just emailing a law firm. I know it’s still a step towards the end of this relationship even if it’s a small step. I am starting to feel more motivated and positive that I have actually started to take some action instead of just sitting and waiting for god knows what to happen to leave.

      If anyone managed to read this whole post till the end, thank you very much for your time. I just needed to share this tiny positive moment with someone x

      @nbumblebee & @wildandfree Thank you for both of your replies xx

      This motivations increases and reduces everyday, depending on what I’m going through but I am hoping I don’t lose it and it will keep growing so I finally end up making that most important step – leaving.
