...See more Long history short I've been living with DV (emotional, psychological, verbal, financial, a tad of physical - mostly pushing, shoving, not allowing me to leave a room and an awful lot of insanely suffocating coercive control for just over 3 years now. All this on top of losing both of my parents in a space of 9 months last year. 😔 I've fled to a refuge with my toddler before, but unfortunately I did come back after 2 days. He promised he would change and I believed him. I've been back for 6 months now and around two months ago I realised that the next time it will be for good so xoncated police this time too. I know I cannot do it alone and l've no one in this country I decided to live. The nights are the hardest. When I fled last time, my anxiety went into overdrive and the panick attacks were looming. I didn't sleep for the full 48 hours I was there - even with prescribed medication!! So I was left trying to care for my then 2.5-year-old in a place that was dirty, cold, and so very isolating. My child was absolutely fine and didn't even ask about his dad — but I was THIS close to lose my mind. One night I even called the Samaritans because I felt so desperate, but no one ever picked up. This time, I know I need to prepare better. I need tools, strategies, and support networks in place for when I flee again, to be able to cope with the extreme anxiety, the long nights, the overwhelm, and the weight of caring for my little one while trying to rebuild from scratch.( I’ve no work, no friends or family here as he isolated me from everything). So that’s why I’m here - to be able to have support and give support to people like me. Thank you for reading 💕
