Hi Dreamy77
I just wanted to say I really relate to what you are saying, my abuser also did lots of the things you describe. I hardly believe he did it to me some days, as I prefer to forget. I am really glad I gave a statement to the police – they took me seriously, and it adds weight to my story with other people, and shows it was very serious. You can do it at any stage, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t done it immediately – and just doing it is evidence for some things. It felt good and powerful to report it. Also, ring the domestic abuse helplines – all helpful in accepting what has happened.
