A story of hope.💜
***WE ARE SHARING SURVIVOR STORIES DURING DV MONTH 2024!***
Since finding safety, my life has been amazing. I have been in a happy and healthy relationship for two years now. I have gone back to school for further studies, and I even got a dog after I got out of that horrible relationship.
Deciding to leave wasn’t easy. I knew I wanted to leave and even HAD plans. I tried multiple times with no success because I was physically prevented from leaving, and the manipulation didn’t help.
I was able to finally leave when he was arrested. I was able to leave SAFELY when the police arrested him.
Abuse isn’t just physical. It can be monetary, emotional, etc.
Leaving or getting out of an abusive relationship is so important and changes your life completely!
In my experience, it changed my life for good. I never thought I could be happy again. But four years later, I am happier than I have been in a long time.
Therapy, medication management, and even just talking about my experience in general to friends and family has helped me move forward.
