Domestic violence is something I never thought would happen to me. It did and im ashamed of that. It affected me and my life for 7years until I fled. I left with nothing but my children. I'm empty inside, hurt and guilty for the children's lives being turned upside down. We are homeless until we are given accommodation. We own nothing, I've lost furniture, clothes, pictures, school reports and other stuff the boys made, it's hard but I will fight back. I am asking if anyone would help with clothes for me and boys they are 14/15and have been golden but need and deserve to be wearing a new clothes. I haven't had my hair cut or coloured at a hairdresser for 6years and would love to but can't afford it and don't think I could go I to a salon as I feel so old fat and ugly. (told that daily) I am slowly trying to believe in myself but it'd hard. I want to live again and enjoy life.
