I can’t believe it happened again! I blame myself for everything and feel so ashamed. How did I end up back here? Why can’t I just be a good girlfriend and buy Kai his smokes?
At the refuge, I begin counselling with a Women’s Advocate. She speaks to me about the pattern of violence and shows me the power and control wheel. It all begins to make sense. Maybe what happened with Kai (and Joe) isn’t my fault after all.
I really want to start a new life - one where I’m safe and free.
