Help for domestic abuse in Canada
From people who came through it
“If you've just found this place, I was where you are nearly four years ago. The worst part was still loving him which confuses me. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Hang on.”
Javi S · been through domestic abuse“Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder so the helpline helped me plan how to leave. I didn't know they did that, and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
bikeslow04 · been through domestic abuse“Nobody told me that the bad days would get further apart so they do so mine used to be every day, now it's once a month maybe. Hang on to the people who check in on you.”
Sravani C. · been through domestic abuse“When I was in the refuge I thought I'd never feel normal again. The first few weeks are the hardest. You don't have to have it all figured out. Just get through today. And if you can't, get through the next hour. That's enough. I still have bad days but they're not every day anymore. You will laugh again. I promise.”
