I would like to say you are courageous woman. I'm happy you were able to leave the abusive relationship. I'm a DV survivor and can relate. It's a shock to the system and you go through an assortment of feelings. It's starting your life over piece by piece. It will get better. Please remember the abuse is not your fault.

Does the shelter offer counseling? I agree with Woven with regards to activities. When I was abused, a lot was taken away from me, including enjoyment. Maybe an activity that you once loved may help. I'm also so sorry for the loss of your mother. Hugs
