From people who came through it

  • โ€œPlease 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.โ€

  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, I was in the same place this time last year. For me, left with two bags and the kids. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart. You're not on your own.โ€

  • โ€œIf 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.โ€

  • โ€œA 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.โ€
