      Hi everyone

      I reached out here earlier this year when i realised I was in an abusive relationship and had to leave for my own safety. It was one of the most traumatic experiences and the advice i had here from you all, when I was at rock bottom, helped me more than words can convey.

      Today,the abuse has finally stopped. Going no contact finally worked. I had to disappear but now I am in a new home, and I am so so much happier. I just wanted to say that to anyone going through this, I feel your pain and worry and anxiety. It’s the most heart breaking, terrifying experience. But trust your gut, LEAVE, don’t look back and you will be so much better off. You might have to go through months, maybe years of pain to get there but one day it’ll finally be over and that day will be the happiest, most freedom-filled moment in years. I believe in you! You can do this. And thank you to every women, who i’ve never met, who gave me so much support. I hope one day i can pass it on and help someone else reach their freedom from an abuser. xx
