Really good to have you here. I am so sorry to hear you are in a challegning moment in your life. In terms of getting in touch with the community you can post a question or a situation in one of the threads like is it abuse? Will he change? Share my story and see if what community members come back with. This will get you some input from people with lived experience of what you are facing. The Helpline Team will also respond to your question here too.

Hello,
Thank you for the warm welcome.
I have tried to write, but am struggling in what to say, and how to go about it.
I seem to find myself rambling.
I have been in a mentally, and sometimes abusive relationship for 15 years. 10 of them married.
When I have read a bit more, maybe I will find the courage to tell my story.
Thank you again for the welcome.
