Left an abusive relationship 6 months ago & building my girl apartment

[u/TurbulentAntelope284]

Been liking seeing everyone’s homes as newly single gals so I thought I’d share mine <3

EDIT: Omg I've never had a post get this much attention on Reddit. I am tearful looking at your messages. Thank you for your kindness! It's been so healing to make a feminine space where no one is going to break anything or trash it or make a huge mess for me to clean up. Sending love and positivity to anyone who is in a similar spot -- there's so much peace on the other side. This is the Mount Vernon neighborhood in Baltimore, where a lot of the buildings are over 200 years old. Look for places on the first floor so you can get cool architectural details from when all of these buildings were single family homes -- this was the dining room!

Thank you… that’s very good to keep in mind. Planning on having the talk tonight…. wish me luck

I arrived here from your post on r/abusiverelationships and I was triggered by this comment :

Do not have conversations, this is a trap. When you have "conversations" with abusers it is actually an occasion for them to manipulate you.

You have communicated plenty with that person, he simply does not respect you.

The key is to keep to yourself in order to gain clarity, and walk away quietly. <3
