From people who came through it
“A note for the next person. I was where you are this time last year. Financial control. That was my life. This year I did a 5k, slowly. From someone who gets it.”

bikeslow04 · 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.”
