left town at 17

left for 18 months

'divorced' my parents during the last 2 years - that was the most helpful thing I ever did. It feels like my healing journey has a new momentum - even if it's, at this moment, daunting to see how much I haven't done yet / run away from

Worked - For 6 months I left to live with my boyfriend of three years family in Canada. The feeling of leaving everything behind was amazing. I didn't have to worry about the things I did here. I'd wake up and the most pressing matter in my mind would be what to have for breakfast.

First, the abuse escalated, which removed all doubt from my side. He continued to harass and threaten me (even though he had moved out) until I finally managed to move out of his house. Now I don't let him in my new place. I'm starting to feel like a person again after many many years.

I left about 10 yrs ago 4 a couple months, when I went back home things were good for about 1 1/2 years when he asked he sleep with my best friend

I've found myself looking forward to any time I can get away from my spouse and know this is not a plus for staying together.

no longer in any of those relationships,

Am out of that situation. I am with a great guy who loves me but sometimes is frustrated because he doesnt know how to help me.

Leaving was the best decision I made.
