Hi all.

I saw this post and thought I’d cherp in 🙂

When I was in refuge I was scared of where I would be, but I got to pick where I went, I got to bid on several houses and I ended up with a really nice house in a lovely area 🙂

Hope this helps

Hi,

When I was in refuge I literally had nothing, I was heavily pregnant and had a baby as well, I found that people who donated clothes was a great help along with toys!
Little bits and bobs like shower gels and that kind of stuff!
The little day to day thins, that help you feel normal.

Hi Lisa,

I suffered PTSD before the abuse anyway because I was attacked, but the abuse made it come back a lot worse, I am antidepressants to help my depression and anxiety. I have moments when I don’t like being touched, even if it’s just a hug which can be very frustrating when I’ve got two toddlers who love cuddles 🙁

I’ve gotten so use to doing things on my own now that I don’t even know how to ask for when, and when I do finally ask I feel like I’m bothering people.

Regards, blackbutterfly x

That’s true, I think different parts are better funded…it’s sites like this and my family that I’ve been able to make it through the hard times.
Stay safe and I hope to speak to you again soon.

Hi, I didn’t think anyone would actually write a response! Thank you so much for your reply!:)
I think everyone who manages to espcape is amazing!
I know how it feels to remove yourself from online. I myself had to.
I am constantly still finding myself explaining why I’m doing something, justifying it so to speak.
In with you with fear though, I am constantly fearing if my ex finds where I live even though I do not live in the same area, or even the same borough…
Even though I’ve lived in refuge, I didn’t get no support (professional) and none was offered, which is a bit of a disappointment there definitely should be some kind of a support out their for victims/survivors
