      More than (detail removed by Moderator) years ago my children and I lived through a long period of horrific domestic abuse that has haunted me ever since and I have been afraid of him since that time my doctor tells me that I learned to surpress my fear of him but sometimes the fear would instantly become terror and I would run away from him only to go back to him I did this many times l left last (detail removed by Moderator) and when I got up that morning I had no idea that I would leave that day but I suddenly became terrified and just put on my coat and left and for the first time managed to get help for myself I am told that I have a deep psychological trauma from those times my husband tells everybody that I am
      mad but wants me back but he is very controlling and I don’t want to go back to him this time and I find myself constantly writing letters to him that I will never send because he seems unaffected by what he did all those years ago while I and my children are so damaged will I ever get through this and find peace

      Hi It’s a (detail removed by Moderator) that I left and I am staying with one of my granddaughters and it is the first time that I have been on my own for a weekend and I am lonely, many years ago I endured a long period of horrific domestic abuse afterwards he isolated me from my family and I have never been allowed friends I have left him before but always gone back to him everyone thinks that he is wonderful but I know the truth I don’t want to go back this time and I am trying to stay strong and I am getting lots of help living with fear over the years has caused me many health problems.
      thankyou all for being there.
