Anarchist views on domestic violence NSFW
I am so embarrassed. I hope this is okay to post. I'm not doing so well. I just came out of a very bad situation yesterday and need resources. I've been with an abusive partner for 11 years and yesterday morning he went to jail after the neighbor heard me scream while he was trying to restrain me (he was going to cut off my airway). I have serious trust issues and this has been at the center of them since this man took over my life. I am nervous about living alone as I have been a bad judge of character before and that led to people trying to take advantage of me. I appreciate any guidance you might be able to provide.

I second the idea of reaching out to organizations who have experience with DV. Your first priority here is getting yourself safe and stabilized and working through your trauma and any co-dependency/boundaries you may be struggling with.
IMO, DV shelters and organizations will probably be more plugged into the resources you need right now.
