I am back!

It has been 9 months since I have been on here.

I couldn't be here and access this community as I finally got up the courage to run away from my abusive partner.  The run took me to New Zealand where I have been living since Feburary.   It was a scary journey that has helped me grow, change and develop skills I never thought would be possible for me to have.  

 

I contacted SANE one particularly bad night over there asking/ begging to be able to come back to this community, my community.  I wasn't able to (completely fair enough, I was in another country!).  

I have now moved back to Victoria and I am excited to be able to rejoin you all! 

 

TO those I don't know, Hello 🙂 

To those I disapeared on, I am so sorry, I didn't want to abandon you.  I just needed to do something for me and that something saved my life.

Re: I am back!

Hi @emg_1  pleased to meet you.  Welcome back to the forums.  Sounds like you made a brave change that has worked out well for you.  I moved interstate for similar reasons and my life has gone from strength to strength also.  It takes courage to start afresh so well done!
