If you need someone right now
From people who came through it
“I know it feels impossible right now. I left with my two kids and spent six weeks in a refuge, and I still love him, which makes no sense. But you are not stupid for feeling that. Take the help that is offered, even if it feels like too much. And if you can, find one person who gets it. It makes the days a little less heavy.”
Eric P · been through domestic abuse“Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Telling one person the full truth hleped me more than anything. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
emma.sis1991 · been through domestic abuse“A note for the next person. I was in the same place nearly four years ago. I remember when left with two bags and the kids, like it was yesterday. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once.”
laketired1982 · 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.”
