FEEDBACK FROM A FREEDOM PROGRAMME

HOW DOES THE FREEDOM PROGRAMME CHANGE US?
WHAT CAN WE DO NOW?

I'm FREE – People believe me at last!

Buy what I want for me and kids!

Wear what I want!

Understand what makes an abusive man Tick!

I can breath without fear!

Can sleep at nights without crying!

Be able to relax! Slowly start to be strong

Being free to do what I want to do and go where I want!

Learn a lot about his behaviour gained an insight of DV

Opened my eyes

I can now wake up in the morning knowing I can carry on with my plans for the day and not worry what I'm going home to.

Make me more aware of domestic violence
have friends over (without them being run down)

Go to sleep with no stress

Come out of my shell, able to talk out about it

Make and cook food that I want, make cakes when I need to

Have children more relaxed and not walking on eggshells

Try not to blame myself for his mistakes

Meet a good man (non abusive)

Have things around with out it being a problem (e.g. at home)

Recognise that he has not got autism/aspergers deep down he's just abusive and asserting his power. Agencies believed him, but now I have the words to explain to them that his actions were abusive tactics

Not be yelled at down my ear

Can now understand and see the signs. Can now see that none of it was my fault. I didn’t deserve it

I can take my kids out and buy them things

Buy your own shopping what you want, without it being put back on the shelves

I can now wear make up and clothes that I feel makes me look good, I can go out and meet family and friends any time I choose.
