I've moved across the country to leave an abusive relationship.
I'm looking for a job and saving to get my own place so that I can move my kids up here with me.
(They are safe, staying with my parents right now while I get set up)
My ex was horrible to me in a lot of ways that I was completely blind to. It wasn't until he threatened to kill me that I woke up and realized he was not only abusive, but genuinely dangerous.
If you've been following me for awhile on Threads (@okay.braud), and you've enjoyed my stories about Bee (my 10yo) and Mouse (my 5yo, human child), please consider helping me get them here with me sooner 🩵 Even if it's just to like/comment/share.
I miss my babies but I'm happy we're all safe, and that I'm far enough away that I won't ever be a target for him again.
I love you all so much. Thank you for helping, listening, and validating me.
It's hard to recognize abuse, and harder still to leave, but it helps when your community is amazing.
Thank you 🩵
