I'm new here and just looking for support from like-minded people. I went through many years of domestic abuse followed by even more years reaching out for help, but never getting any. I spent years trying to ignore/bury my issues until they got so bad I no longer wanted to leave my bedroom. I am finally starting on a journey of bettering myself and holding those responsible for causing me issues. I went through a divorce in 2016 where my ex husband is still dragging me back to court over things. I finally said enough is enough and I spoke up for myself. I told the judge that my ex husband was very abusive to me and due to that I was in the process of getting myself help. The judge apologized to me, set a new court date, and needs me to bring in proof of the help I am getting. Would love to talk with others going through similar things.

      I am not... but my daughter's a domestic violence survivor. The only good thing of the pandemic was being able to watch court online. That jerk dug his hole deeper and was fun to watch. Hugs

        @Musicfan23 thanks for the hugs. I hope your daughter is doing well. Going through my situation along with being who I am has helped me decide what profession I want to go into. I am currently starting college earning my degree in Human Services and will become a counselor!

      I'm so sorry going through that. It is great that you're getting the help that you need. You are so strong to be able to stand up for yourself. This app has a great community of people to talk to. I was abused as a child until I turned 18 and I know it's not the same as domestic abuse. I want you to know that I'm here for you If you ever just want to talk about anything. I can't imagine what you're going through right now, I sincerely hope that things get better. That you're able to experience a life full of love and happiness.

        @rainbows1 thank you very much. I have my good days and my bad days, but I know that I am working towards a major goal! I know this is not going to be easy, but I need to do what is right for me. I have gone through many things and never stood up for myself until now. I hope that not keeping everything secret anymore will show people that I am not the horrible person my ex-husband made me out to be.
