Please know this: 

You are not responsible for the violence against you! You do not deserve to be abused and you have every right to choose whether to leave your home or relationship.

I hope this community will serve as a tool for you to get the help you need to get your life back again, and to meet people who are going through or have been through the same situations.

Please give yourself a chance. As a friend once said to me, "You are worth it, and if you believe, you are never truly alone". 

My friend, you were right. Thank you for your kindness, guidance, encouragement, strength and friendship.
