Update from The Australian woman who had to flee from domestic violence.

Hello! Well wow I opened up my old MacBook to get photos and seen so many messages asking how I am and if I am okay I had forgotten about this reddit account, and I want to firstly truly thank every person that reached out and offered me accomodation and advice. I will never forget your kindness.

So to update I am doing really well it has been a year since it all happened. I am obviously back home in Australia. I don't have any lasting scars from the incident they have faded just as much as the trauma has to be honest. I started seeing a psychologist and was put on some medication for the depression and nightmares. I have weaned off the night mare meds and proud to say no more nightmares!

I started a law degree last year, after everything I finally found my passion and want to help women and children get out of domestic violence. So I am almost in year two and have 2 more years then the dreaded bar exam..

I have met an amazing man, he unexpectedly came into my life and has been such a support through everything. I was so scared to get into a relationship but he has gently came into my life.

Anyway sorry for the ramble, I hope everyone is doing okay as they can in these times. Thank you again for just being there even if it was over the internet, it was nice knowing you guys had my back.

​

All my love x
