Im staying in a safe house/shelter now away from my boyfriend cos he beat me up again. But its really not easy being alone. Im more depressed now im out of the situation than I was before. Its partly cos of the stories everyone keeps telling me i think, about their experiences of domestic violence and how things get worse. I was hoping for a reconciliation with my boyfriend. But the counsellor tells me thats unwise. Im learning about the cycle of violence and I can see how it relates to my situation with my boyfriend, theres the classic symtoms of it i can see. But im scared that I wont make it on my own. I already feel like taking my life cos as he said im nothing without him. Im scared no one will like me or want anything to do with me. He was always the center of my friends, he was my whole world. Nows theres just me and im scared that by myself im not strong enough or good enough to face the world alone.
