      It has been a blessing and a curse at the same time-sharing accommodation with strange women from different backgrounds although I have no trust in the women the tie is still there for anyone thinking of coming to refuge it is no walk in the park, I have regular counselling and I am listened too. it has been quite an emotional roller coaster. And regular check ins which is nice to know someone is around. looking back, I realise now that the people that were around were not friends. And were merely people waiting to cash in on the next pence that came in literally. constantly overdrawn always being told what to do always left feeling isolated and used. verbally attacking my demeaner when I was just chilling out even when I wasn’t chilling out just to grind me down, I was like the donkey and carrot always wanting what I can’t have. But still had to work for it so time in and feeling ok not expecting too much but on the horizon.
