Have realised, this is a story about women, isn't it? The land lady, Granny, the ladies who got beaten up and went back to those who hurt them, and You, the others who got out out and made better lives for yourselves and your children, who didn't...

Posted on Wed, 18 Nov 2015
You do a great job instilling a sense of fear and disgust at this new accomodation! I am kind of surprised that no one checked up that you had a safe place to go, it doesn't seem responsible at all, to let you and your baby fall through the...

I love how you describe the others in the refuge - even though you must all have been struggling, so much support! It is lovely to read of the kindness, perhaps Granny's nastiness even made you all closer, a threat you could overcome and looking...

To think, if it hadn't been for that piece you posted this week, would never have read any of this! I feel as Bee says, to have thought of you always as so sensitive, a born poet through and through, it makes your bravery and resilience the more...

This is great writing, the relief that you have somewhere away from the landmines you described in the first part! And the contrast between welcome kindness and hostility of the other residents, the details of toothpaste, wonderful. It's good you...

As others say, this is AMAZING WRITING, Jenny. I am so glad you had a good health visitor, so there was one person who understood and knew how to help. Thank goodness she was there! I believe this would help others, to read. It is so kind of you...

As others have said, your bravery shines through. I was never brave enough to try going on my own, and having read the whole of your account of this time, that was the right choice for my son and me, whatever anybody said, I could not have coped...

Wow! What a writer you are :0) And what a resilient person! This is so, so good. And the perfect ending, not what I had expected, but perfect :0) To have gone from the frightened young Mum at the beginning, to this person who could turn down an...
