I hope someone read this and it helps someone

I had to get through a lot of regret, and also realization. I had to go through physical changes, things I couldn't change, as a result to domestic violence. Countless other things I take from my experience haunts me.

To this day, and this moment. Leaving is only leaving.

My tip is rebuilding your spirit.

Relax and rest, not until you have energy, but until you feel like you have energy to do anything other wise.

Your soul, spirit, mind, heart, and body needs that. Prepare yourself for the massive amounts of changes and new realization your life is going to have.

The battle is far from over I'm still fighting.

An end to all bad things always comes
by: Anonymous

I was domestically verbally abused and still am. When I felt alone and tired of this, I always told myself THERE IS ALWAYS AN END TO BAD THINGS. Like also for good things.
I persuaded to go to boarding school for a term to get away as I was always confused.
WE ARE TOGETHER. YOU ARE NOT ALONE, EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU ARE. MANY PEOPLE FACE THE SAME. AS SOON AS I TURN 18 (IN 4 YRS) I WILL GET AWAY FROM THIS.

PEACEFUL AND STILL FIGHTING, BECAUSE I KNOW ALL BAD THINGS HAVE AN END.

After 5 very mixed years good and bad
by: Anonymous

It ended 2 months ago and its still very raw and in a bizarre way i miss him as it wasnt all bad all of the time he was asked to get help when a row could never simply be a row without painful insults pushing and shoving its hard but i know i will survive despite this its not my responsibility to get help for someone i loved if he didnt want to and i wasnt enough for him to make the change and im sad it took criminal damage assault and police intervention to get him help as a court order which may help or not remains to be seen just not by me anymore
