Good morning! Today it is 5 yrs I’ve been a single parent and 5 yrs that I’ve been free from an abusive relationship. I was terrified of doing this alone as the only adult, I’d believed him when he told me all the bad things about me.

He was wrong though, I’m stronger than ever

On the flip side of this, it’s also the anniversary of that awful night that led to his arrest, I can still hear the bangs of him trying to break the doors down, the horror as he climbed through a window to get to me. I slept terribly and am anxious as hell today, but I survived

It’s also the eve of our sons birthday, he was terrified too watching another incident. What should have been an excited nearly 8yr old instead watched the police take his dad away. Please, if you now live like I did and can find the strength, leave.....do it now

Finally, it’s not your fault, you’re not to blame and you don’t deserve it. Good people don’t hurt other people.
Much love
