      Hello,
      I would like some advice regarding support that can be received from different services. I was seeing someone from my local women’s aid, well I saw her once, even after me contacting her and the main office number on a number of times, and now they are saying that they cannot support me. The reason That they have given me is because I am receiving support from a different service for a separate issue, and women’s aid are not best placed for me. I was told via text that they will not support me and I’ve tried to be in contact with them since to ask for their reasoning, I have tried calling, leaving messages, texting but no one has got back to me. Does anyone have any advice on this, or know what I can do/who I can talk to instead? I’m in a really horrible relationship, really abusive, I really want to leave but I’m not strong enough to do it on my own. My support is next to minimal because of women’s aid no longer supporting me, and now I feel even more scared and vulnerable.

      Hi growing sunflower, the not knowing why you’re not being supported must be torture. I know this isn’t the same but when you receive any holistic treatments you’re advised not to use anither type fir a few weeks, being they’d cause contraindications.
      Could you maybe contact another WA centre in another town close to you and see if they can shed some light as to why you can’t get support. I would have thought that different forms of support from differing agencies would be availableavailable wouldn’t be a problem. Just know on here you have unconditional support, no matter what’s going on in the real world. Unless a court case is ongoing, I know we can support you in other ways without talking about a live case..
      Don’t lose heart or hope
      Best wishes IWMB 💕💕

      The domestic abuse police can be helpful in their own way. Also victim support. The women’s aid national helpline number is good to talk to someone. The number is on here. You’ve also got rape Crisis Helpline if required and I’ve actually used the Samaritans. Google other support services in your area that deal with domestic abuse. Speak to your GP about counselling. Keep reaching out. You can do this x
