Did you receive support, eventually? You don’t need to say which area you’re from but Google your local domestic abuse services and the 24 hour helpline. I’ve always found the ladies on the other end of the helpline lovely and friendly. I hope your bad days are lesser now too.
You shouldn’t feel embarrassed; she’s portrayed herself as an advocate, a signposter, referrer and this champion of women. You and many others reached out to her and did not receive appropriate advice. If she works with managers of domestic abuse refuges (as she claims) then surely she’d be able to offer more appropriate advice than “you need Women’s Aid, darling”.
I’m finding it increasingly worrying that vulnerable women are telling her their confidential details in a desperate plea of support, not only are their details on PTWM’s phone (the one that was found in a males toilet at a hospital) and social media, but she can then repost them later if she wished. Oh my days, I despair.
Thank you ! I’m not in any immediate danger I don’t live with him anymore, but the emotional and psychological abuse is still there. So Basically I was asking for advice on my situation and what I should do as I can’t really phone services as I have anxiety and can’t use a telephone I don’t even speak to my friends or family on the telephone!
And she replies with ‘you need to phone women’s aid darling’ ... so I don’t think she even read all of it. So yes ... very embarrassed embarrassed and angry that I believed her, really.
