Why Don't You Just Leave?

There's always a select few who say, "Well, why don't you just leave?!" When they hear about a woman going through domestic abuse.

Narcissists' use manipulation to control the victim.

Clearly, those are the people who've never been in her position.

Not everyone knows what a #narcissist is...

🎭 He wears a mask and plays the victim, so you feel sorry for him.

🗣️ Then he manipulates you.

💧 Over a long period, drip... drip... drip... tiny jabs chipping away at your self-esteem, controlling what you do and cutting you off from family and friends.

👺 You let him get away with his shitty attitude because "he doesn't mean it" but eventually, his mask starts to slip.

🥚You constantly feel like you're walking on eggshells in your own home.

🫵🏻 You get blamed for his behaviour.

🤯 When he threatens to hit you, his family say "Well, you must have done something to cause it"

My #mission is to support females who are recovering from mentally abusive relationships because...

❌ You finally escape and feel an overwhelming sense of freedom and relief, but then you realise you jump at the sound of a car engine passing because it sounds like his car, you flinch when someone shouts and you check you can't see him, before you leave your home.

❌ You're walking through town looking over your shoulder while your body is constantly stuck in flight mode.

❌ You feel #anxious, even when you're in your own home and suddenly it hits ...that realisation that you're not as confident as you once were, you constant feel oversensitive and you don't know who you can trust anymore.

❌ Even worse.. you're blaming yourself for "letting it" happen...
