Statements from Users
Thank you so much for listening to me and believing me. So many times it happened that I was just dismissed, but you gave me strength. Thank you.
What meant the most to me was hearing from someone that I am not to blame. You believed me.
Life writes stories, or so I thought. Now I know that I write the story of my own life and I have influence over what it will be; I am not a victim of others. I have strength and can continue on my own. Help exists.
Povedala bi še, da je bil v mojem primeru najpomembnejši trenutek, ko sem sprejela odločitev, da ne bom več živela v nasilju. Potem se je vse poklopilo in je šlo tako, kot bi se zložile vse kocke. Vse se je zgodilo točno tako, kot je bilo prav. Zadihala sem. Kot da se dušiš, nato pa prideš na svež zrak, vdihneš in rečeš: "Ahhhh, to je to. Življenje je lepo."
My neighbor had already suspected that something bad was happening at our place. Once she witnessed it and saw what was going on. We had a few chickens, and one time one of them ran to her, and she brought it back. When she came, he was really terrible. He was in such a state that he literally couldn’t even turn his head. I remember my neighbor just looking at him in astonishment. Then, once, she quietly told me that there is a non-governmental organization. It was the first time I had heard of it, so I wrote it down. She advised me to call them and ask for advice because I would have to do something. That was the first step toward my salvation.
Love yourself first, put yourself first. If I could manage without a cent, with a sewing course, as a foreigner, with two minor children … with feelings of inferiority, not belonging … you can do it too. When I moved out of the victim role, doors began to open for me on their own.
