From people who came through it

  • β€œI was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. My mom did not believe me, and I couldn't see past it. I wake up most days without that dread. It's slow, but it does come back. Sending love.”

  • β€œI am not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I am not especially strong. Telling one person the full truth helped me more than anything.”

  • β€œIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side. Some days now I forget to be sad. The helpline helped me plan how to leave. I didn't know they did that. Go slowly.”

  • β€œA note for the next person. I was where you are eighteen months ago. I remember when now I have kids myself, like it was yesterday. I got a new job this spring. You're not on your own.”
