      Feeling so rough today, I have become aware of myself playing down what happened and wondering if it is that bad. I’ve also been very aware that I am terrified of making that step to true freedom. I have my sister but she doesn’t get why it’s taking me so long to build myself up. My kids know something is up and one asked me to not leave daddy. I am struggling to answer this so I just say no matter what you will always have a mommy and a daddy.

      I honestly have really struggled, I’m not sleeping I can’t think straight and simple chores feel too much to handle, I feel like I cant cope and I just want this nightmare to end.

      Just reaching out to you lovely people who understand what I am going through, I know I won’t feel like this forever.

      With love,

      Overcome

      I remember this stage. It’s the indecisive frame of mind you’re in that adds to the anxiety. Being in limbo is excruciating under these circumstances. Once you make that leap of faith and actually go there’s a huge weight lifted. I’m not saying it will be easy but a new path and goal is set and moving forward with purpose will energise you. It’s being in an abusive relationship that weighs us right down. Sucking the life and energy just to survive. I would be surprised if he’s priming up the kids to add pressure on you. Your kids need a happy confident mum. Get your own oxygen mask on before you can help others x
