From people who came through it
“If 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.”

Nadia S. · been through childhood abuse survivors“A 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.”
