Dear All,
I wanted to let you know that I’ll be going on holiday to a place I visited with my ex. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to take a vacation there. I’ll also be returning to a city where most of the abuse took place, but it will only be for one night as a stopover on my way home. I hope everything goes smoothly and that this summer won’t be filled with C-PTSD and more hardship. I now have a place of my own, which is solely in my name but needs some repair work. I find it difficult to have men in my house, and I’ve also experienced economic coercion. I dislike dealing with unprofessional builders who try to coerce money out of me. However, I’m working on building a life after the abuse, and going on holiday alone is incredibly liberating after all the manipulative abuse I’ve endured.
Thank you for taking the time to read my message.
I wish you all the best in your journey out of abuse and I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm regards,
Weather

Congratulations Weather. Sounds like a wonderful time for you to be able to do these things.
I have been thinking recently what I would do if I managed to ever leave and I decided going on holiday alone would be it. Somewhere abroad. Just get away from all the s**t.
Wishing you a fantastic time, and summer, and that it is only filled with good things xx -

Have a fantastic time!
Yes his voice will probably spring into your head, but that’s ok because you know it’s just a memory and he’s not there. You’ve got this, and hopefully you can turn those bad connections to certain places into new good memories of that location instead x

Thank you, Bananaboat and Sad and Alone. I don’t always check my messages on the site, and it was so good to see your positive messages. I recently got back from another holiday overseas, and it was amazing. I’m trying to reclaim my identity, which was lost during the abusive years with my ex-partner. I hope you are also able to reclaim your inner selves.
Wishing you all the best,
Weather, x
