I have been in my relationship for years and years and have never told anyone anything until recently.
I think I hid everything because I didn’t want people to know. If they knew they wouldn’t understand why I was still here – why I wouldn’t just get up and leave but it’s not that easy, is it?
I have told a few people things that have been happening – and I believe that’s because mentally I’m getting ready to leave. I know my mind is still confused and most of the time I want to just forgive him – forgive and forget! But I also know that part of me wants to leave.
I think getting in touch with your local domestic abuse charity is a good idea – or talking to someone online.
