That means you must sever contact with any and all people from your past.

Otherwise they'll be able to betray your trust to your abuser(s).

I made that mistake once and shall never make it again.

There are domestic violence centers that can help you with your transition.

Just make sure it's absolutely what you are ready and willing to do.

Sad to say it's the only way, and I wish you the best!

It isn't easy, but it is doable.

The rest of the family abandoned my mother. Her own brothers sued her a few years ago over her manipulating them out of the family business. Nobody talks to her, she has no friends. the coworkers at the family business watched her abuse me - she'd verbally abuse me out in the open at the office - a few of them called her out when she laid them off....and all my friends...are terrified of her - nobody comes to visit me cause they're that scared of her. They want me to get out too, but they're as clueless as to how to get me out of here as I am. That's why I'm here. I'd like as many details as possible...cause i have a vague idea, but without details I can't start doing anything but thinking - which i've already been doing.
