      I’ve not been on here for a while.due to circumstances i’m unable to leave the situation & i feel mentally drained. I’m told you shouldnt have to explain why u ended a relationship & i’ve tried to explain my reasons but its not good enough! Does anyone else find that it doesnt matter how u say u feel they just wont let go. Like they’re entitled to still control you, because you’ve been together so long. So manipulative & make you feel guilty for everything! I feel my friends & family would be so disapointed with me, how i give in & allow some things to still continue! Its so hard to explain to people when they’re not in the situation themselves.

      I think its always really hard. I got loads of grief because I didn’t leave the first time that my ex hurt me and I didn’t tell hardly anyone until I was safely away. I ended up feeling like we’re still living in the nineteenth century and how dare I have escaped?
      No one who is not in this situation is going to find things easy to understand because its a crazy messed up world we live in where 1+1 does not equal 2 and the normal rules do not apply. I do hope that you can find at least one person who you feel supports you. Are there any women’s aid groups or freedom courses near to you?

      Thankyou for replying. Ihave a womens aid support worker but its so hard to talk regularly cos i dont get much time away from things, she’s quite understanding but keeps saying i should just go to a refuge which i cant do.I have attended 3 freedom prog meetings which have been good. I think people just assume you should constantly stick up for yourself. Argue back but its not that easy is it. Especially when you’re made to feel everything is your fault. I’m planning on leaving trying to find funds. But they’re always seems to be a block in the road. Xx
