Why doesn't she just leave?- Episode #43

Telling a victim to "just leave" sounds easy but some of the things the victim is thinking about are:

Will be divorced/separated

Will face them in court/legal settings

Lose friends and family

I Will be a single parent

Rejection from church or organizations

Will I ever find love again?

Will I be able to collect support from the abuser?

How will I survive with no job, money, insurance, car, house?

Telling your friend positive statements such as-

What do you need?

I am here for you and am here to listen to your story when you are ready.

I believe you!

You are doing a great job + more- listen in!

If someone you know is living in fear please share this with them so they know they are not alone and to help raise awareness. If you need to talk to someone about abuse please message me privately.

Someone out there needs to know they are not alone and that they can survive. Perhaps you are a parent or friend of someone trapped in an abusive relationship and need to know how to help. Message me privately for support or help. My goal is to share awareness, offer empowerment, and educate others about emotional traumas and domestic abuse.

This is the first of many episodes to come where I will share my story but also stories of courage and healing from Survivors, Coaches, to Therapists/Counselors.
