Hello, thanks for the kind messages from last time. Sadly my situation is worse. After saying I’d like to move out due to the mistreatment, the refuge is not really doing much to move me out; instead they expect my advocate to do it- today they said they could only access the database from the staff member who mistreated me so i said im worried that won’t be safe; but as a result was told to call Refuge for the register myself in a pretty unkind way. i said it hurt my feelings; but as before, i was told that it’s not about me feeling hurt, they are just too busy.
at the moment i am just a bit shocked at how unkindly i have been treated by both my refuge and pa. i think that it is really unfair that speaking up for myself and my needs has led to so much isolation. i think that support during such a vulnerable time would be best and yet i am having to do the legwork myself to find a better life. i just kind of feel sad that nobody is really able to help me in this situation.

Thinking of you. In my volunteering and work with vulnerable people I like to think that I would do anything for them. I hate saying no, which of course makes me prime fodder for abusers outside volunteering and work. I like to treat myself well after my abuse too and have learned about boundaries.
After people have endured so much in their lives the last thing they need is ‘too busy’, they need gentleness and someone to look out for them in their time of need.
Sending lots of love to you. -
