Surviving domestic violence and starting again

Leaving my home because of domestic violence was one of the hardest choices I’ve ever had to make. While coming into a refuge was life saving it also very difficult to leave behind everything I knew and owned.

I got a huge amount of personal support from my last refuge but unfortunately as with all providers some places I have been over the years were not as informative with information that was much needed, therefore I wanted to create a blog that contained some of the information that was helpful to me and I hope will be to you too.

Preparing to leave a refuge can be very frightening but remember the workers in refuge are there to help support you through this.

Starting again is a takes allot of organisation and planning, there so many things that need to be arranged on top of keeping yourself and any children you have safe.
