Hi mental abuse has made me so ill I have no self esteem and no friends and no life. If I could go to a group who has people thats gone through the same as me then I would feel a bit more positive that we could become friends and encourage self worth and trusting friendship. I don't think people realise the torture its been and its hard to cope when you escape as i have no self esteem, no job, no friends, no family, no reason to live. Having friends would help anyone. knowing how sensitive I am now and I can understand others flinching etc then it would help recovery by supporting one another.

I also could really do with a friend right now, I have been icolated and although I have amazing children the only adult in my life is my husband he's made sure of that. It's hard to keep telling myself I am a good and trustworthy person. I find it hard to talk to mums at the school gates etc because I'm a nervous wreck and this is what I'm hoping to conquer in my life. Just found the forum today as my first step xx

Hey you and welcome here,
It can be such a difficult road to walk away from abuse and realize your partner isolated you from other human beings. It can make us very self conscious and produce feelings of shame and guilt. Just know you are not what you feel- that you are not someone who deserves to be isolated or that you are at fault. You did not sign up for an abusive husband and to live a life where you probably have to pretend a lot to the outside world and hide how youre really feeling.
we are glad you found this place and hope you find reading other stories healing and helpful!
let us know if there is anything else we can do. i can also highly recommend you to call a local domestic violence hotline to talk to someone in your area. they can hook you up with dates for support groups or even just talk anonymously on the phone. you dont have to give them your name or personal details. they will just listen, offer you options and services and maybe that alone will help you feel like there is hope and a way out of your situation.
he never took the core of you away. that part is just hiding right now and waiting for you to feel safe again and then return.
believe in yourself and that you deserve so much more than someone who does this to his wife and mother of his children.
you dont have to live like this.
