I turned to staff at my local DV shelter and with their support was able to look at my options, develop a plan and eventually leave. Was not easy but like many before me I found I did have the strength to get through the tough stuff, the many changes and survive.

Abuse is not love

I am in an abusive relationship. Say it again. I am in a abusive relationship. ABUSE IS NOT LOVE. ABUSE IS NOT LOVE. ABUSE IS NOT LOVE. ABUSE IS not love. ABUSE IS NOT LOVE. I have to keep saying it over and over again because somehow I can't wrap my head around the fact that I am not loved. What I have been fighting for for years is not love. The man I made a baby with does not love me. If he did I would not be scared. I am scared. I get scared. That is not love. ABUSE IS NOT LOVE.
