How long have you been left from your ex?
Aw right. can imagine ur kept busy. Been split 2 yrs after i rang 999 but a lot goin on at mo and its been brought bk up so feel im bk at square 1 very stressful
I agree that moving forward from abuse is not a straight line and often you can feel as if you are going backwards rather than forwards.
What's going on for you at the moment?
Dont really want write much on public board but got lot stressful things at moment. Wish there was private messaging
Hi LMK, the reason why we do not have private messaging is so that no member can cause any problems for any other member, I do understand what you are saying though
We do have our Ask The Expert service, where you can contact the appropriate expert by email and they will send you a personal reply, which is totally private to you and does not appear on the boards. Click here to see the list of experts
Hello Lovemykids! I am new on this. I was abused by a boyfriend for a year and then "rescued" by my ex. Had two kids with him but after one last fight that I thought killed my baby (I was pregnant) I left. Was the hardest damned thing I have ever done. In August it was 3 years since I left. Life has been so hard, so damned hard but the kids and I are happy and I have started to piece my life back together and do things I have wanted to do. If you need a chat, or a hug, or to vent, I am here. HUG!

Hello lovemykids and welcome along!
There are a few members on here who have been in a similar situation to you and others will be along to say hello shortly. I have changed your location to your county to protect your anonymity, we do not have a private message service so we ask you not to name your children or you specific location for that reason.
How old are your children? It is indeed a shame that their dad has no contact with them but on the other hand, some of us here have worries when children are with dads who have been abusive so it's difficult either way.
