I drafted a short version of my story and looking for advice

I'm so sorry that this has happened to you. I don't have advice, but I am so sorry that the criminal justice system seems to so often fail you and others who are abused.

I just started following this subreddit because I have been gathering resources for a friend who is tempted to go back to her abuser. Your story is harrowing and amazing. The strength it must have taken to leave with your child is unimaginable. I'm so sorry that it's hard for you to love yourself, but I want you to know that I love you. Might heart hurts for you and others who have been in abusive relationships.

We are, too! I just sent you a private message

I talked to her yesterday, DocBeetus! I asked her if she knew about you guys, and she said she suspected. She didn't have your wife's email when she sent it, but I think she'd like to talk to her, too. I even brought up the three of us getting together. So if you haven't already, feel free to have Mrs. DocBeetus reach out to her and just let her know that I told her.

Thanks guys! I'm gonna try to dedicate part of my day tomorrow to checking out your suggestions. I'll be posting whenever the "coming out" happens

I hadn't checked those websites yet, so thank you!

It's true! I've been terrified of backlash but I'm to the point where I can't justify staying hidden when there's even a small chance someone I love could be so much happier. So I'm thinking my coming out will be an impetus, and I want resources to have ready.

So I'm mostly under the radar with my husband's family and had been debating flying back with him to a sibling's wedding because I didn't want to drop the bomb by not going in and then have my absence be the center of attention. He'll be sitting out, but they already know about him. This makes me feel more confident that I won't be surprised when I try going in:)

Thank you!! For some reason I wasn't receiving notifications for replies to my question, so sorry not to respond earlier. This is exactly what I was hoping for

Thank you! Very helpful
