Hi Jaytee80,

It sounds like you are in a very difficult situation and feel as though you don’t have many options. We can’t imagine how this is impacting you. Especially if you feel as though you are unable to speak to the police in regard to this matter.

We would strongly urge that you contact 1800RESPECT. They offer 24/7 confidential information, counselling and support for people impacted by sexual assault, domestic or family violence and abuse. The lovely supportive counsellors have a lot of experience offering advice and support to anyone who has been through trauma like this. You can contact them on 1800 737 732 or visit  https://www.1800respect.org.au/

If you would like some help finding additional mental health support, we would recommend that you get in contact with the Beyond Blue Support Service. They are available 24/7 by phone on 1300 22 4636 or on Webchat 1pm-12am AEST on our website: www.beyondblue.org.au/getsupport  One of our friendly counsellors will be able to talk through these feelings with you and can offer support, advice and referrals.

We hope you are able to find the support and guidance you are looking for in this community.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

There seems to a quite is few things you are trying to deal with at the moment. And it might seem overwhelming when you have all those things spinning around in your head. Sophie_M has given you some options. I would just add this link to look at ....

https://www.respect.gov.au/services/

I don't know and not asking what State you live in ... the above page will give you links to other services you can access depending on your location.

I cannot imagine what you are going through, but want to say you have been courageous for writing part of your story here and what you are going through; secondly, for taking that step of leaving the relationship. It must have been a very difficult decision to make.

Also know this is a safe and supportive space. If it helps you during this time, I would invite you to continue posting here and other users might be able to provide you with additional support.

Peace to you, Tim
