A little update….

Hello!

It’s been a while!

When I started this blog a couple years ago, I thought that that moment in time was the beginning of the rest of my life. Little did I know that that was just a brief moment and that I would go on to remain stuck in the cycle of abuse that I thought I had freed myself from. I stayed stuck in that cycle until December 2023 when I finally made a permanent break for my freedom.

Four months on from making that permanent break, and I feel that now is the time to start sharing my experiences with others.

I spent a couple of months living in refuge before finding a place of my own. Over the last four months, I have taken positive steps to begin to rebuild myself, my life, and to set goals in order to live fully the life that I desire.

I have achieved things over the last four months that over the last four years I was never allowed to. Over the last four months, I have experienced more peace than I have over the last four years – that’s even with post separation abuse ongoing! Over the last four months, I have been so very grateful for things that we all usually take for granted, things that are usually just a basic human right. Over the last four months I have been so touched by the kindness of complete strangers – from the stranger that I met on my way down to refuge and all of the strangers since my arrival who showed such kindness and compassion. Over the last four months, I have begun to realise the gravity of everything that occurred over the last four years, and the astonishing amount of trauma that I have been left with.

I am excited to pick up this blog again after these years, I hope to connect with you, I hope to educate you, I hope to empower you, whatever your situation, to live your life on your terms.
