Your story is really sad, I am so sorry that you’ve been through all of this. It sounds like you are isolated and alone with this. The awful violence and drug taking should be the end, but it’s not always that simple when we love people who are not good for us. Please get help with your situation, maybe start with a domestic violence charity who can support you in getting to a safe place. You are worth a lot more than this. God bless you x

Hi,

I’m really sad to read your story – you are having such a difficult time and it’s sad that you feel so alone.

I’m worried that you are being hit . Please can I suggest that if you need to call the National Domestic Violence Helpline, as they will b give you advice on your situation and what to do next. Their number is 0808 2000 247 and it is free to call, open 24 hours a day, and calls are confidential. You could also look at Women’s Aid’s website, they are the national charity working to keep women and children safe and they have a directory of local support services which you can find here – http://www.womensaid.org.uk/azrefuges.asp

I’m glad that you’ve found this forum and hopefully it will make you feel less lonely.

If you would like more help please contact us at Icarus Trust as we are a charity that supports people dealing with addiction in their family. We have Family Friends who are trained and experienced and one of them would talk with you if you get in touch.

You can contact Icarus Trust on help@icarustrust.org or visit our website http://www.icarustrust.org

Hello your story is so sad. You really do need to try and speak with someone who can give you some professional support. Whilst you may not like to think of yourself as someone who is going through domestic abuse. If he is making you feel isolated or hitting you or accusing you of things. He is trying to undermine your sense of self worth and things can only get worse. You need to stay strong and do what is best for your own mental health. Whilst it may be easy to blame his behaviour on the drug use. Someone who is taking away your confidence and your ability to see clearly is not someone who is good for you or someone you should try to stay with. I really hope you get the help and support you need and that you manage to get yourself out of this toxic situation. You will thank yourself for it. It may take some time to recover and see the light but you will be so pleased that you did. You are better than this and a strong person. You must look to your future and the opportunities that will lay ahead for you.
