CW, DV

I have a court case pending on Wednesday and will finally be free of abusive family members. Sadly I am the defendant. I understand why the rules are the way they are, but sometimes rules that are meant to help victims are used by abusers to further victimize. I am fighting this to get it off my record.

I am safe in hotels and looking for shelters and couches, and am finding new friends. I started writing a daily positivity journal to combat the trauma loops. I will survive this.

really big sigh

Well, I made a big decision recently. I’ve been thinking on it for the last 10 months and events over the last year kind of solidified my decision. I never thought I’d make this choice, but here I am and it’s going to happen.

It’s going to change a lot of stuff, but I think it’s time. It will take the next 2-3 years to get things ready and move forward with my plan. It’s going to suck but it’s important to me.

Yes, I am keeping this intentionally vague

That's fine mate whatever amount you want to share is the right amount. It's clearly a big change and you're not rushing into it. You know it's the best thing to do and it's a big step forward

🫂 Thank you 💚
