Help for domestic abuse in South Africa
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“A 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.”
laketired1982 · been through domestic abuse“If 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.”
Javi S · been through domestic abuse“Please 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.”
