Hello I am new! Never done anything like this before!

[Nancy]

This feels so scary, but am hopeful and relieved too that I am not alone in feeling so isolated and frightened. I desperately want to get stronger and create a happy, peaceful sane life. I feel like I am gripping on to sanity by the skin of my teeth at the moment. It takes so much energy just trying to appear ok to others.

Hi Nancy,

First, welcome to the forum. This is an important step you’ve taken to come here and share your story while opening yourself to help. You are most definitely not alone, and the women here can attest to that.
Know there are also specialist domestic abuse services that can support you, as and when you are ready. It’s important that what the help looks like is decided by you and what you feel is right.
Your local domestic abuse service is a good place to start engaging in when you feel ready. They are free and you may use them on-going as you need. Find your local service here.
Keep posting and private message me if there is any specific help or information you need.
All the best,

Lisa

Thank you so much everyone for your welcoming and reassuring kind words. Whilst I am nervous, I am really looking forward to chatting to others on here. Xx

Hi,

I’m new to this…

A few weeks ago our adopted son was arrested for hurting me and he won’t be returning home.

I feel scared of everything right now, unable to sleep or face the next day, keep having flashbacks etc.

Don’t know how to think or feel…
