The breakdown of my marriage has been the biggest challenge and failure in my life. It has been an incredibly painful and challenging year for me. I stopped working because I couldn’t carry on with my mental health getting even worse. I was suicidal and extremely low. I felt like I was barely existing. All our plans, dreams and years together had been wasted. My world just crashed in the blink of an eye.
After suffering from domestic abuse, my husband kicked me out of the house. I am currently living with a friend on their sofa as they don’t have a room for me. Moving into a new home will make me feel relieved and secure. I will finally have a sense of freedom and, most importantly, I will feel at peace.
I feel so blessed, grateful and overwhelmed for all the generous and kind-hearted people who are willing to support me and everyone in need. Hopefully, soon after I am comfortable in my new home I will get back into employment. I plan to love and prioritise myself more and live a happy and content life.
