      I say kids, my kids are grown up but live at home.
      I just feel like a horrible person for being ungrateful. Plus I resent being in a situation like this. I have used a food bank once and as much as I know it’s a lifeline for people I think the problem is more than that.

      Yes ShineBright. I hope she’s OK and being able to get the support she really needed. I remember feeling so proud of those steps she made that must have been so scary. When we all step out of what we know which is to think we deserve to run round the hamster wheel of abuse, when we step off that wheel and go towards no contact its such a big thing but always the right thing xxx

      Well my abusers non mol came to an end, in (month removed by moderator). Thing is, he breached it by texting me last year yet the police had no joy in finding him because he just didn’t answer the door and because he didn’t work and I have no idea of his routine they can’t find him. On the one hand I think what’s the point in having a non mol if the power of arrest clause is not able to be implemented but on the other hand having the non mol gave me the strength to continue with no contact which made him realise eventually it wasn’t going to be one of those situations where I go back to him so all is good really.
      I have triggers, things I read or things on TV, his voice is in my head on occasions about how I should think or feel, I can’t imagine being in another relationship and I’m s**t hot in recognising patterns of abuse in other people’s situations. I’m getting there though. Work helps me focus on every day is a new day
