Its been (removed by moderator) months since I left.
The first 3 months were so so hard.
October was so much better and I am becoming me again, my old self. I’ve missed her!
We were so lucky to be offered housing by my local council within (removed by moderator) weeks of applying. Been living here for (removed by moderator) months now and while it’s not a show home….its our home.
My child is happy and settled back into school and I have just had a fantastic parents evening report.
My child sees his dad for one night a week, I hate the handover but it’s quick and in a public carpark and the little one enjoys going.
There is life after an abusive relationship, it takes time but I am now coming out of the fog and slowly rebuilding everything.
I even bought myself a coat this week! Didn’t have to worry if he would like it or not or if I had spent too much etc. Nothing special, just a supermarket brand but its kept me warm on the school run.
Thankyou for all the advice on here, it took over 2 years to leave but I did it. It’s tough and such a journey but the outcome is so much better now.
