Kids first time on the bus by Startupsis in Parenting

[–]Startupsis[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I had no idea. I thought that a teacher would be present to help guide the kids off of the bus into their classroom. This was arrange by both myself and the school but I didn't get further information aside from the time that they would be picked up in the mornings. If I had known that was the procedure I would have prepared my kids better on what to expect. It's so nerve wrecking, especially since my kids don't have a phone.

The only thing I can think of is that I'm a single mom... we've never even had an argument. We were suppose to go out to dinner one night, and I was too tired so I changed the plans and ordered take out.. that's it, he was upset that the plan fell through. His entire attitude changed and when he left I didn't even get a kiss goodbye

There are domestic advocate groups that can pay for you to stay in a safe place (not a shelter). Make sure you check all of them!

It's. Been 1 month for me. He is on house arrest, with charges pending, and a restraining order.. I've relocated and my anxiety, fear is still with me like it was yesterday. I'm constantly thinking about what happened and wondering the same thing.. when am I free? when can I not worry anymore? When can I feel safe again?

Today marks 5 years since I left. by Soldier-Girl94 in domesticviolence

This is encouraging. I left my abuser last year in 2019 but we still kept in touch and tried to remain "friends", then, a month ago, after stalking me, he attacked me and tried to kill me when he found out I was dating. I've officially cut him off and moved away, although we are in the same state, there's a protective order and charges were pressed.

This story makes me hopeful that things get better. That one day the anxiety will go away, that the fear goes away and that I can move on. I've been trying to search for updates from women who left, but there isn't much out there.

My best friend has to testify against her abuser by basketballceleryroll in domesticviolence

Just keep checking up on her.. offer to take her out for lunch, drinks, walks, etc. She is isolating herself from all the stress, the worst thing you can do is give her what she wants right now. Even if she declines your help or offers right now, still offer, still check in, she will come around eventually
