      • My post history shows my escape from my ex husband

      The friend who offered me the sofa had a motive. Yes I fell into the trap of ending up in another abusive relationship.

      Not physical yet, but very emotionally and psychologically abusive.

      Maybe I deserve it, maybe I’m a horrible person who deserves it.

      Not sure how I come back from this one, or why I’m frozen.

      I can’t motive myself to sort out the property it looks like I lucked into.

      Everything scares me

      Hey statshine

      These steps are always scary especially after everything you have been through.

      No-one deserves to be abused.

      You can do this. You’ve already been so brave already.

      Little steps.

      Lots of love xx

      Thank you @tryingtosleep

      Today I don’t think that I can.  Its just too much.

      I have aome health issues which are hard to come to terms with and I’m not sure I have the energy.

       

      Monday I will call the HA see if the property is available and Tey and move the viewing/sign up to the end of the week I think

      Abuse is tough because we always being made to feel that we deserve that, and it really takes time and courage to break the cycle, it is always unfortunate for ppl who has to experience that, and I always wish them can find their own way! Stay strong!

      So sorry statshine. Please remember these things are so so hard.

      I could never have left my relationship without the support of others.

      Please be kind to yourself. Stressful situations are so very exhausting. Tomorrow is another day.

      Take care of yourself x

      Looks like I may have lost that property

       

      They want evidence of domestic abuse

      Police told me ‘your not unintelligent so why did you stay’ with the ex and I haven’t reported this one, why would I don’t get believed and he hasn’t actually hit me, broken my stuff, called me names, bled me dry, wrecked my health and eroded what little me was left but not hit me.

      What do I do now?
