KEY LEARNS
“I lived for six months with a bag in the back of my car that had like a spare pair of clothes for me, a spare pair close for the boys and our passports. Again, when I look back on that, I think it is absolutely crazy. Because why didn't I just go? I think I had that because whenever there was a drama, then you can't suddenly start packing things, you need to just leave. And at least I knew I had that confidence. I had everything in the car”
“I do believe that he had some kind of mental health imbalance because it wasn't always the way it was. So I think that's why I stayed so long. But leaving that and also going through that whole thing of you are a failure because your marriage hasn't worked out, having mixed-race children, which seems silly to say, but I really did feel that I didn't want to be a single parent with two children. And that took me a lot to get over. And I don't know why I think it's because society put you in a box. And I didn't want to be put in that box by other people.”
“So it's finding someone that you can confide in, initially. But I do think it's all about facing your situation, not running away from it.”
“I just felt like I was going around in circles and just couldn't get out. So you've got to, you've got to speak to someone, and you've also got to not be in denial, you've got to own up to the fact that you are in this abusive marriage. And you then have to think about how you're going to get out of it. What is going to be your exit strategy out of this, because you need a plan to get out. And you need to follow through on that plan and face that fear. it's not until then afterward, then he can do all the healing and recovery part of that to work on your confidence and work on self-care and all that kind of stuff. But initially, it is a bit like 999 is an emergency, isn't it and you need to get out.
“I think I actually think everyone should have a counsellor, or a coach or a mentor or something like that because I think we're always growing. And we can't always see things ourselves and everyone needs some kind of support, especially with what's happened in the last 12 months with the pandemic.”
