โWhen 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.โ
โPlease 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.โ
โA 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
โIf 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
