      Hi.
      Nice to meet you all. I am a survivor and feel relieved to have escaped several abusive relationships. I’m now in my forties and struggle with Complex-PTSD. I’m lonely and despite getting free of the abuse, I often feel that I am still there. I want to move on and enjoy my life now that my children are grown up.

      Hello borntoteach,

      Thank you for sharing that with us and welcome to the Forum!

      It’s good to hear that you managed to escape the abuse, but I’m sorry to hear how it’s left you feeling. Many women struggle with the aftermath of domestic abuse so you are not alone in that, and I hope you can find some comfort and support here.

      Take care and keep posting,
      Lisa

      Hi.
      I am (detail removed by moderator) years out of an (detail removed by moderator) year abusive relationship. Both physical and mental. I am now suffering with PTSD and having flash backs. We have 2 kids (detail removed by moderator).
      I have never really spoke about what happened and being able to read some of your comments has already helped me.
      Happy to be part of this page
