“It’s hard to leave…fear of the unknown, lack of finances, or the stories we tell ourselves.
But I love him.
He’s not always this way.
How can I survive on my own?
In the end, no matter what your abuser tells you, he will not change. The abuse will get worse and we deserve better.”
The people at Shelter Movers were great. They were there to help me move my belongings to my new, safe home. They were very supportive and kind. My stress levels are so much lower. I am no longer on eggshells all the time and I am able to sleep better.
The stories I tell myself are slowly changing.
I don’t need him.
He’s not going to change.
I will survive on my own.
Thank you so much for all of the support I received from Shelter Movers.”
