Hi Its debs

Hello Debs,

Oh flower, you have done the right thing by getting away from it all. I remember you saying that things were getting difficult a good while back.

It must have been a frustrating day for you but you have made a good start and although does not feel like it now, things will get better and you will have your own place to make your sanctuary.

You will get there Debs of that I am sure.

Lots of hugs,
Lv, I x

Hi Debs,

Sorry it didnt go too well today but at least you have been given some advice.
I wouldnt worry about the crisis loan i expect that they will back date your money anyway which i would expect equalls out the loan? Just seems harsh though doesnt it?

I am sure the refuge places will give you lots of support ,help and advice.

Please keep strong and like i have told you many times you know where i am any time!

Along with all these lovely people we are here for you

Love Rose x

Debs, I've only just caught up with this thread, and I'm so sorry that you are having such a difficult time. You were extremely brave to get yourself out of the situation you were in, and well done to Cris for helping you.
I do hope that life will treat you more kindly in the future.

Debbie, I am sorry I've only just read your post. You brave lady, getting yourself away from a situation like you were in, and it does take courage on your part. And very glad that you had Chris to help you out. Your at your daughters now till they put you into sheltered housing which is probably the best place for you at the moment with other women in simular circumstances.

You can now start yourself a new life and begin to enjoy yourself. You have shown great strength, keep it up and things will become easier for you. You should be so proud of yourself, it does take a lot of courage.

I am thinking of you

Thank you again for your kind words.
Im still at my daughters, rung housing today & there sending out forms for rehousing me. Might take a while but ive got numbers for womens aid just incase i need them.
I dont like putting on people but my daughters BF says i can stay here as long as needed
Ive got to register with a new gp but my old surgery were lovely to me & sent down my prescription for a month.
Everyone ive spoken to about my circumstances have been so nice (Apart from a snotty woman about my money :x )
I'll get there, im resting well, nice hot bath everyday & good meals. My daughters great bless her & my other daughter is coming to see me tonight. I lost alot of time with my girls as i was so far away & he didnt make it eassy for them to come & stay :sad: Ive got all that back now & im so happy for that.
Everything will fall into place soon im sure.
Im being strong & keeping busy.
Onwards & upwards is the only way now.
Thank you again for your support, luv debs

Hi Debs

Hi Debs

I do hope the housing forms come through quicker than you expect, but it is lovely to know that you can stay with your daughter as long as you need to.

Keep strong, and take care

Hi debs

I'm so glad to read that you are finding great support from being with your girls... and the BF sounds like a good guy too.

Just to mention.... I used to work in homelessness and thought it worth saying to you to apply for permanent housing under 'Homeless legislation' in addition to the normal housing application. You have an automatic priority for housing as you've had to leave your home due to violence from your partner and step-son. It's a separate application to the 'normal' housing waiting list form so please ask to speak to whoever deals with homelessness for your daughter's local authority area.

Good luck debs... stay strong.

Hi Debs, I've read your post and the following messages, you are one strong lady, having the guts to turn around and leave that relationship after so long took alot of bravery and guts! And I hope you didn't look back!
It is good to have a close family & friends network round you at this time while you sort what you want to do and how to proceed with it. So keep your friends close and your immediate family closer. Knowing you have alot of love round you is a big help. Again well done for walking away. As you know you have a family/ friends here at Arthritis care, if you ever need someone to talk just PM me.

Hi debs,
Oh I am so pleased that both your daughters are with you, I hope you had a good catch up last night.
It is a long journey for you but as I said you have made the first steps and you will get there. That was nice of your old surgery to send you a prescription it will have taken a weight off your mind.
Sending you lots of good vibes Debs, I am thinking of you.

Aw Thank yoiu again for yoiur messages, it really helps.
Im not looking back at all, once i can arrange to get my personal things back here & my bird then i will be happier. Not sure about the bigger things even though i brought most of it, i might have to leave it & start again. Its only furniture after all not much to give up after an abusive relationship of 7yrs.

I applied for a free bus pass today & that should be here Friday. Bus's are so expensive :eek:

Got all my meds now & just have to get a new gp, im trying to do one thing at a time as ive got letters to write,passwords to change etc etc. Nearly there though.

Thank you again as reading your messages really helps me.
Take care all, luv debs

Hi Debs,

Losing the big stuff isn't the end of the world flower and when your settled and got your own place its sometimes good to find your own untainted by memory or associations.

hi Debs just having a catch up here and there , you are doing brilliantly with good family support you will stay strong , the woman's aid are good places if at any time you don't feel safe and can offer lots of advice and support , your home is waiting for you which will be you own little sanctuary , furniture is replaceable and there are so many organisations that can offer help , hugs a bundle xx
