Random fact:
This triggered a random memory and I'd like to share my experience in the hope it inspired others to speak up and also so they know they're not alone ...
It happened to me when I needed a place to stay, to escape my first ex husband, my landlord made me sign all my benefits over to him but he got mad as it pushed me to get a job instead and run away from him..he chased me for money for a while but what he did was wrong in the first place. My dad answered the call once and said "I'm handing this phone to the police" and he stopped hounding me.
Sometimes I forget what I've endured in my little life and considering everything, I'm surprised I still care and still want to support others. Many people go through barely what I have and still end up becoming like their abusers. I'm proud to be the opposite, and have learned what NOT to be.
This memory is from 2007... Huddersfield.
