Hello,

I am Tyffani. I just got out of a 10 years long relationship of abuse... My husband is now in jail for attacking me.. I am in the process of filing for divorce and charges..

I don't want to be small and pathetic anymore.. I want to be a new person. Someone who can stand on their own and push through anything. Someone I'm proud for my daughter to look up to.

I know this won't be at all easy.. I miss my husband everyday.. but I know it's what I have to do.

Thank you all for your love and support even when I was too hard headed to see what was right there.

I'm a survivor.
Hugs from:
Bill3, Skeezyks

Hi there,
For starters, you are so courageous to be where you are at; it takes a lot to realize you need out of a toxic relationship and work hard to improve your life, not just for yourself, but for your daughter as well. I am glad you are able to know it won't be easy; you will have mixed emotions everyday and replay different events in your head-- good and bad. But what is most to remember, is that you are survivor, like you stated. You are also a great role model for your daughter, you have shown her that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and nobody has a right to harm you. You've also shown her that love does in fact have boundaries and when it goes too far, consequences will be dealt. I believe you have a good heart and a strong head, you will pull through. You will provide an amazing life for yourself and your daughter. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for this!

Good for you!Some days will indeed be harder than others but you are moving in the right direction. Keep doing what you need to do for you as your daughter one day at a time. I can't imagine anything harder than living in fear of your safety everyday. I am happy you have found the inner strength. You can do this!

I honestly don't think I would have had the strength to get past any of this without this site. This community is really amazing.
