 hi, just under 2 years ago I found out that I was married for 24 years to a monster. I have 5 amazing kids who are not healing from trauma, it hasn't been easy, because I am going through my trauma too, I have been judged and put down by my own family, to the point that I felt worthless and blamed myself and I didn't want to exist. I have met someone luckily because he has saved my life so these kids still have a mum, I'm still here and I know my worth and I continue to support my kids, we are a great team and we support each other.

Re: New

Wat a sad but courageous journey you have had. Trauma is hard to deal with especially with children who are also traumatised. Glad that you have risen above the depression and pain. To come out the other side stronger and show the world that you are a worthy person. We are more than an abusive persons victim.
