A few Words From Someone Who Knows How You Feel

When I first came to the Women's Aid I was a bit scared and didn't know what to expect.

It wasn't the fact that there was quite a few people here at the time, it was also because I didn't know anyone else in Scotland even though my mum had told me that I had family in the area, but I had only met them once when I was little and didn't know them very much.

That was three and a half months ago now and it has got a lot easier to cope with the people I left behind and my bedroom and just the little things. Now I know it can only get better and we will be happier in our new house.

I have started school now and I have made loads of new friends. I'm not saying you won't miss your old friends but you can't mope around and be upset forever but not only for you but also for your mum.

You may think you are the only person in the world that has ever felt or been through this and you may think that everyone's having a go at you but they're not and when new people come to Women's Ais that have been through something similar to you try to talk to them because it helps and if you don't feel ready to talk wait until you are, don't ruch. But it helps to talk and you may help others in your position.
