Hi @Loreli and welcome to the forums. You will find that there are at least several of us here that have also been through or are going through domestic violence situations. Me too.
I'm really glad to read that you've reached out for support and are receiving it, both here and in your life offline. You have already taken some major steps towards a journey of recovery. I am certain that you do the best you can as a parent and afterall that's all any of us can do.
I have done a course in recovering from abuse and it really helped me a lot. You might find something similar if there's a womens' centre near you. Otherwise there's a lot online if you google 'recovery from dv'. It taught me about the 'cycle of abuse/violence' and how to recognise different parts of it. And how to avoid going back or getting into new relationships that are unhealthy.
I'm happy to support you but will be away from the forums 26th Dec to 8th Jan, but I see you have quite a few others supporting you here.
Thanks for the tag @Maggie
Don't forget to type @eth if you want to talk with me @Loreli - sometimes you need to type short names slowly. You will see a dropdown box where you can click on the person's name that you want to interact with.
Take care and hope you find the forums helpful and friendly.
