From people who came through it

  • 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€œPlease 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€

  • โ€œI 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.โ€

    Eric P ยท been through domestic abuse
  • 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€
