      Hi KIP, the waiting lists for the local service are currently closed but I spoke to a kind lady on the phone just after seeing your message and she reassured me that the waiting lists would open again in a few weeks. She also said she would try to get a female counsellor to talk things through with me so that is good. I am also typing up an email to send to womens aid email so that I can receive a response hopefully in a few days. I don’t know how people have the strength to leave. I am focusing on trying to get a job to pay off debts and start saving up to go.

      hope you are well

      It is just so crazy reading “domestic abuse”, it has been my life for a few years now and it is just baffling to think that what i thought was “tough love” or someone really caring for me etc was just abuse. I really can’t get my head around this.

      Hi KIP, thanks for the message. I have tried to call but it keeps going to the voicemail because they are really busy. I will try again tomorrow. Thank you for the support x

      Hi Escapee thank you for your reply.

      I am tempted to contact Women’s Aid phoneline but I don’t really know how or where to begin.

      Thank you for the reply iwanttofeelbetter I really appreciate it. I find it so difficult i genuinely love him and see my future with him because he has slowly improved on things ie not calling me names anymore but then things like getting defensive and giving me the silent treatment because I want my name to be my own and same with my identity etc makes me question that? Also, with the whole family thing, i suffered quite a bit of abuse within that community and so he was i guess a hero in that he took me out of that position but now i still feel stuck
