Scared

[Brudge123]

I have done all (detail removed by Moderator), I’ve borrowed some money and have a plan to go on (detail removed by Moderator). (detail removed by Moderator) But I’m terrified. I have no friends and my family won’t help me.
Needing some moral support right now x

Please contact your local women’s aid or victim support. They can signpost you to support if they can’t help themselves. Take a look at McKenzie friends too. But remember you’re stronger than you know. Keep focussed on the end goal x it’s only natural to be scared, that’s what he’s counting on. Make him regret the day he thought you were a victim. How dare he x

You wont regret it for one second. Have you got a safe exit plan? What is it you’re scared of? Its the most dangerous time when you’re leaving so make sure he’s not there and doesn’t know. And have you got a safe place to stay for a period of time. If he contests (detail removed by Moderator) then you might have to be away from your home for upwards of a month+. As KIP says contact your local domestic abuse charity, sometimes Womens Aid sometimes run by different organisations. You could ask your GP too? Ideally you’ll get an IDVA who can help you with these steps. Well done, good luck. Keep posting. Run things by the ladies here. xx

Thank you, yes have safe exit plan ive been working on for months but the plan is for me to stay in the house to minimise the distress to the children. I’m just not sure i can do it. I’m all alone and I can’t just sit here alone wondering if he’ll come back x

UPDATE!

I did it, I got out. I’m free. I’m in a safe house and I have a lot more to do but I’m actually away from him. And now I’m away it makes me realise how bad it was and how much I was downplaying it.

But now I’m free. Thank you ladies. Thank you so much x*x

Well done💪 Power to you. Just take baby steps now. One day at a time and start building your own future and that of you and your children. You need to get yourself well and happy so that your children can follow your example. You’ve shown them that abuse is never ever acceptable from anyone and you had the strength to walk away from that. A lesson they need to learn for a happy healthy adult life and relationship x take all the help offered x 💕

Hi! I’m stuck!
Currently Sat downstairs not daring to breathe incase he finds out I’m actually awake!….
I’ve had a past drink problem but since seeking help and two children later everything is fine! ( he uses my two small children as a means to hurt me and take child away!) they are my everything!

[Watersprite]
