How to cope with losing your stuff?
I have finally figured out a plan for escaping after years. I have been trapped for so long but I have realized the only way out for me is through a domestic violence shelter. I've tried other ways and even family members. Nothing has worked. I tried to build a life in my abuse and I tried to be content with what was happening. I've seen so much but it's time for the new chapter to begin.
How do I cope with leaving my life and items behind to escape? Shelters don't allow me to bring my items with me, only the bare miniumin.
I know people say your life is more important than items but I have to get rid of things that matter to me that I won't be able to get back. I know freedom will be worth it but it really hurts right now.
Saying goodbye to my bed, my favorite desk, my books, my blankets, everything.
I feel like this is the part about abuse that alot of people don't talk about. How painful leaving truly is
