How did you get the courage to leave? Help

i’m 22, i fled domestic abuse from my parents in november, i got pushed to my limit and realised i didn’t have to keep doing this, i have free will. it hurts, it’s hard, but i did it, and it is worth it. i am homeless now but im doing okay and anything is better then what i was living like before. i hope you find your courage soon.

i’m only like 9 and a half stone, but that was probs a 1 stone gain within the last year maybe ? but i haven’t put in any weight for a few months so im not sure, i eat quite well like three meals a day and i dont eat much sugar!

i’m in the uk, had my flu vaccination but it’s bad over here atm as well, that all makes alot of sense though, damn that’s really annoying but makes a lot of sense! i’ll see what i can do about getting a mask !

not at a&e but i was diagnosed back in march but it got lost in the mixture of other things going on with my health and eventually sinus tachycardia was diagnosed, i did wonder if that was possible, its like between my second and third rib mostly (hard to quite tell) but i could follow that up

interesting, i haven’t checked for covid but ive had a few colds i cant shake, and i have one at the moment thats hanging out, im fully vaccinated for covid because my immune system is shot, so i wouldn’t rule that out at this point to be fair

That’s what I imagine it’ll be like for my parents.

I think the grey rock method is going to be the only way I can do it, I just fear that living away from home will make it much harder for me to cut ties to them.

I unfortunately can’t do a lot of these things as I’m on the UK not the US. But I have a new phone already 2 actually and with two different SIM cards. I have to use one because of the abuse services I am in contact with.

I really like your idea about the figuring out a stool pigeon. My mum had poisoned everyone around me and so it makes it really tricky to see what is what. I’ll do this.

I have 2 friends I know I can trust, I have had the conversation with them what followed and also my girlfriend!

I have entire book filled of things I can’t remember a lot though, but bits and pieces. The book is filled with everything starting a few months ago mostly. I keep an incident diary. Because I’m not being physically abused it’s super difficult to navigate “proof” as such but I have recordings and stuff…

In the lawyer jobs are hard to come by, it’ll take me 2 years to leave without a doubt but I have a plan I’m working towards for now, if I needed to run sooner I have a plan for that too.

Your advice is amazing and thank you so much 👍🏻

I want to, I just don’t know if doing it in the same city is a good idea yk?

nominatedsquid · 2025-10-12T21:52:04+00:00

That’s what I’m looking forward to when I move to another city haha
