      The realisation that I can’t go back to him because of SS really hurts, I know I am doing the right thing but deep down I want him to mircaulously change but I know that wont happen , I am grieving today for what could have been, struggling to cope with bubs and feel like a hinderance on my parents, have to go to cab and council tomorrow to find somewhere to live , just feel like everything has been destroyed.

      The early days are really hard. Your parents will want to help you and see that you’re safe. When I finally told my mum she said she wished I had told her sooner. Just remember why you’re having to do this. It’s not because of SS that you cannot go back. It’s because of a nasty selfish abuser who will never put anyone before his own needs. You will get through this and make a good abuse free life for you and your child. Hang in there. We find strength from somewhere. We are strong already to have survived x

        Hey

        You can’t go back because you choose you and your kids. You also know the truth. You’re brave to be so honest.

        Cry, sob, get snotty faced, hug yourself. Your vulnerability is your strength. You don’t feel it now, but one day you’ll realise that that was what it was all about.

        Abusive men can’t face theirs.
        So they try to use yours.
        Doesn’t that tell you it’s precious and valuable. And it’s part of you!
        Naturally beautifully it’s who you are.

        One day you’ll know.
        But for now through the stress, and tears know you’re a lion who just feels like a sheep. (What you feel doesn’t change what you are.)

        Take care X
