feeling safe Refuge

[Door mouse]

WOW! feeling safe feel so good feel like crying safe feeling my heart is in the right place if I could describe the hell I was in and the safe feeling I have right now is amazing peaceful, I was so scared to be here worried that things might happen checked all the cupboards and loft like a scared little kid calling out is anybody there in the in the dark at the slightest creak but that persistent want and dogma that comes with domestic abuse! you know sitting here thinking that I might have a future is amazing at the age of %& and not having pension. Health insurance or even a job of my own is tragic I never really understood why I was being treated like that not even being able to think for myself Is !£$%&*) horrible was I wrong for being myself. I have a partial smile on my face why did I let it go on for so long I have never been so thank-full for some tinned potatoes without a can opener? so happy that I am not being perceived as anything either with that constant hammer of verbal abuse. I still Know I am a long way from home. But I also feel that I have let myself down in some way, I was so tired of running but I never really knew from what I don’t think you can really put a price on that.

Congratulations. You did what you could. The violence is completely his fault and not your own.

This is such a great step. Good on you for securing this.

It is very different living in safety rather than with abusive ex.
