ParticipantThank you for the link Lisa. I had so much support whilst in the refuge from my key worker and other girls I met and moving into my own new place was all so exciting and I felt so happy and finally free and I think that helped heal the wounds a lot but I know the scars are still there of what happened and feels like they won’t go away especially as I still need to see him for my son. I can talk to my partner but I also feel like I’m bringing up old news and I should be able to cope and deal with life as I am now in control or I should be anyway. I was unhappy for so long and let him control my emotions for so long I just want to be free from it once and for all X

ParticipantThank you drama queen for your reply I’m really grateful you took the time to read and reply to my post. I think after an abusive relationship it’s common to be quite isolated as I wasn’t allowed any other kind of relationship before and it’s hard to make new friendships when I’m so negative about myself and feel like I don’t have the confidence. I did Complete freedom programme whilst I was in a refuge which did help me realise the situation I was in but I think the recovery course definitely sounds like something that would benefit me thank you for that I will have a look into that. I do recognise things which is good also thanks for pointing that out too I think it’s so easy for me t get so stuck in my own thoughts I can’t see that I’m actually doing alright especially compared to before. I just need to act on it instead of getting myself worked up about it and learn how to solve my issues and improve myself.
Also I think as I still see him every other weekend to drop my son off its a constant reminder of what he did to me. It’s been nearly 4 years now and I still can’t bear to look at him or say anything to him and every time I do I can’t even tell you how it makes me feel. But it’s something that I can’t change I need to learn to deal with that.
