Just wanted to write and introduce myself. (detail removed by moderator) I finally plucked up the courage to leave my husband , we had been together (detail removed by moderator) years and had two children. With the help of my family I went into refuge and although it was the hardest thing I’ve had to do ,I can finally say I feel free.Don’t get me wrong it’s still not easy, there are still bad days, days I doubt myself , but I still don’t regret any of this.
I’ve come here because although my family have been supportive , they don’t get it, how can they. I hop to get to know you all. -

Welcome to the forum. Sadly it’s a bit of a rollercoaster ahead but you did the hardest bit. Well done! I think it was the hardest thing I ever did too.
The best thing I read was Lundy Bancroft: why does he do that? As someone said on here a few days ago. It was the best £13 they ever spent. That book changed my life and ensured I didn’t return to my abuser. It really did clear the fog many survivors get having recently escaped an abusive relationship.
I also think it is a very good resource for people who just don’t “get It”.
It should be compulsory reading for any professional dealing with domestic abuse. -
