Thank you for your support @Emelia8
was watching a YouTube about shame
maybe this is my soul journey
find meaning in the tragedy
I used to walk my head hanging, my hair over my face… unsure of what to say
somehow I do have more confidence now

It is really shocking what over privileged people and women can get away with.
RESPECT phone line is only one sided. Manipulative behaviour can go both ways regarding the battle of the sexes. Women can do coercive control.
I may withdraw from the forum as my circumstances are so unjust, I might post too much and it may have legal ramifications.
I have really understated the horror of my existence. I did not know what was normal. It is really not normal to be functional at all given my experiences, as a child, a young mother and a grandmother.

Awww my dear @Appleblossom . I'm so sorry to hear this. We want to be here for you, but we also respect if you feel it is safer to step away for a bit.
It seems that just as soon as you start posting more on the forums, and connect with more people, then life through this curveball at you.
We are here for you.
Hugs.
