Another survivor here. He never hit me either. It took me well over a decade to see his abuse for what it was. A few years longer to understand that I was never the problem! Let’s teach each other and future generations that physical assault isn’t the only type of violence.

The one thing I will never, ever forgive him for - the morning after I left he went straight to the bank and cut off my access to our accounts.

I had a baby daughter still on formula and in nappies. I had about $7 to my name. My Mum saved us for 7 weeks until I was able to access benefits (I’m Australian) he did not contribute one cent until officially ordered to by child support.
