“Courage doesn’t mean you’re not afraid. Courage means you’re not going to let fear stop you”. Couldn’t have said it better, and we’re so happy you’re back! 💕

She was about to cry the whole time. Stay strong sister sending virtual hugs.

I'm a teacher. In my professional life I gave everything. To the outside world I was strong. At home I was being physically and mentally abused by my husband. You were tired girl. I got out. We got out. You're not a coward and you're not weak. I don't even know you and I've never watched you before but I want you to know that sis. You got this.

It's always the most selfless people that end up with the most selfish people.

You will never regret leaving a bad relationship. You will always regret staying.

I was in a relationship with a narcissist and it almost destroyed me.

I was in a mentally and physically abusive relationship for nearly three years. The adjustment and uncertainty about yourself coming out of it is crippling. You’re so courageous for telling your story and lending a voice to those of us who never really had one. I wish you all the happiness and love your heart can hold. You are valid and deserving of it all

“I’m making this video because I want my life back, I want my career back, I want my world back” darling you deserve that. You deserve to get back everything you lost and more. I can see the hurt in your eyes and it’s awful, but look at you starting to reclaim your life!!. You are much stronger than you think you are, you will get all of it back and more, I promise you this. And in the process you will help many people along the way 💕

I love how this comment section is full of people sharing their own experiences and struggles and comforting each other. Cheers to all of you 💕✨

I wish schools would start implementing real world issues into their curriculum so that young kids would know how to deal with it if they encounter this in their futures

This must have been so hard for you. You are brave from escaping, talking about it, and helping others. Thank you for sharing. I love you <3

When I heard "I was in a relationship-" I thought 'say no more'. I completely understand. Comming forward and speaking up is a big step. Getting the help and support you need is tremendously hard and I am SO proud of you for stepping up and speaking out about your situation and shedding light on things. I truly hope things get better for you love.

This is so difficult to watch. I attempted to get out of a relationship about three years ago which turned bad instantly. I was abused when I was trying to get out, during the actual breakup and even years afterwards. I felt tiny, I felt evil, I felt hopeless and I felt scared because he wouldn't let me go, yet he'd blame me being in his life for his troubles and hardships. He called people at my job, people who had offered me jobs, the state and even my mother, telling lies about me to take all away from me. You are wonderful. You are phenomenal. You are brave. Welcome back, this time, as you, fully.

I love how her face brightened up when she started talking about her friends and family, and her current relationship. The video started with her being on the verge of breaking down and to be honest, while I was watching, I couldn't help but let a few tears of my own shed, it was hard not to. The transition to her more cheery explanation is absolutely beautiful. I don't know her personally but she seems like such a sweet and kind hearted person, she didn't deserve to be treated that way, nobody does. I'm glad things are looking good for her now and that despite everything she stays optimistic. I sincerely wish her the best.

i cried every single day while i was with my ex, i was just 17 and it got to the point i no longer loved myself, he pointed out flaws in me that i never even knew existed, my lips were too dark, i had texture on my face, and i started hating myself. It's been 3 years since i broke up with him and still every single day i can't help but notice these little flaws and feel worthless but I'm trying everyday to change the way i feel about myself.

"I'm making this video because I want my life back". Beautiful, that hit deep. I massively wish you all the best and as someone who has been in this situation, I am here for you wholly while you get yourself back however long that takes. We all are xx

Stay strong! I divorced my husband this year and it was the best decision I ever made. Me and the kids are so much happier now! ❤
-
It took me 7 years, to leave my abuser. I’ve had therapy 3 times. Rachel Williams is amazing to follow for her advice and she’s got a twitter page. You are strong x

I was mentally abused for 4 years and when I finally found the strength in me to leave, he did everything he could towards the end of our relationship to keep me, that included trying to get me pregnant. It was an awful end but I did everything I could to fight the manipulation And force. I’m happily married and in a healthy relationship with my spouse and most importantly with myself. You’ll be ok. THERE IS a light at the end of every decision you make in this life. Love yourself always ♥️

I spent 10 years in an abusive relationship. It started as a ‘perfect’ relationship, he seemed strong, caring capable but changed so gradually that I didn’t even see the small changes. It’s destroys you, I didn’t even recognise myself by the end, I was terrified to leave as I truly believed that I couldn’t cope alone, I couldn’t provide for my children. For the first 6 months after I left, I was a complete wreck. It’s been 3 years now and I’m still affected but can usually get past the issues inside me. You WILL get stronger, you WILL be yourself again, you WILL survive.
