I went to the police

[Chocs]

I went to the police to make a report. I never thought that it would be that hard, i guess i didn’t realize the extent of what had happened to me until i said it out loud.
I feel terrible however, i cannot stop crying.. the guilt is consuming me. I feel for him and his family. How do i deal with this guilt- my mom is just telling me that it’s for the best and to ensure my safety. But i really wish this wasn’t how our story ended.
I have not slept in 3 days. In my dreams he is still hurting me and i get so scared. I really need help.

Hi Chocs,

Thank you for your post. I’m sorry to hear about your situation. going to the police takes a lot of courage and its understandable this felt overwhelming. saying things out loud can make it feel more real and you are having to process a lot of trauma and what you have been enduring.

You have nothing to feel guilty about- this is all his behaviour and there is a reason you have gone to the police. you deserve to feel safe and supported.

Do contact your local domestic abuse service if you need ongoing support with your situation.

You can access free online courses created by or in partnership with therapists specialising in trauma at Bloom. These courses can be accessed in your own time and at your own pace and cover topics such as trauma, abuse and boundaries.

Take care and keep posting

Lisa
