      I’m a DV survivor of years and years of emotional abuse and financial abuse.

      The long term effects have been devastating for me, I’m at a point now where I feel I have nobody to turn to as all my friends and family are sick of me talking about it.

      My health has been permanently affected by the abuse and subsequently is impacting all my relationships including my job.

      Nobody sees the emotional scars that cohesive control leaves .

      I feel so alone, frightened and worried. I’m getting into debt due to the financial abuse, my mental health is worsening as I’ve been going through this for years and years. I don’t even feel capable of working anymore. I ve had every therapy, treatment going and nothing works.

      My current partner has had enough, this whole journey is leaving me feeling increasingly isolated 😞😞

      Thanks for listening x

      I’m so sorry you are going through this. I don’t have much advice other than have you tried the financial support helpline.

      They really helped me and gave emotional support too

        Hi Topsy@@,

        Here is the link for the Financial Support line mentioned by Freedomfox0106: https://www.moneyadviceplus.org.uk/fsl/
        They can offer advice and support to anyone effected by the financial side of domestic abuse.

        Best wishes

      Feel like I could have written this myself. You are not alone
