From people who came through it
“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.”
Bo O · been through domestic abuse“If 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.”
