    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Hi,


    Hope everyone is well & welcome newbies/returners. I've not done as much housework as usual tonight because I've been watching Comic Relief & to be honest I wish I hadn't as it's really upset me. Basically one of the short films that they do to show you how the money is spent really upset me. It was one about how they support victims of domestic violence in the UK & brought back painful memories of when I lived with my parents & my dad physically abused me & my mum. The film featured a recording from a 999 call, where you could hear a woman shouting "don't hit me" & then screaming as a man hit her. I can't describe how it made me feel. I understand why the BBC makes these emotional films, I mean the ones with the starving kids in the 3rd world were upsetting, but I've never starved & it's not the same as listening to something that you yourself has been through. Thankfully I'm married to wonderful man who strongly believes that violence is wrong & has never laid a finger on me. I still see my parents & my dad has never physically abused me since I left home 7 years ago. I don't know if he still harms my mum, although I strongly suspect that he does. I started crying after I saw the film & had a cuddle & a chat with my husband which made me feel a bit better. Anyway, at least I've done some housework. I'd had a good day up until that point & my anxiety/depresssion has been okay recently, but i'm pretty sure that living in constant fear of my dad started my mental health issues in the first place. I'm sure I'll be okay in a short while. I feel that I can talk to you lot about it as I regard you as friends :A
