This is where real women tell their stories. We passionately believe that one woman’s story can be another woman’s light at the end of the tunnel, that by sharing your story you are helping others and that by reading these stories you may be able to help yourself.

We don’t edit any of the stories, preferring to leave them well alone. We can’t promise a happy ending in every one (although many are wonderfully positive) but we do hope they may help you put some perspective on your own situation.

Have a read and if you want further support why don’t you visit Truly Chat where there are lots of women like you offering fantastic encouragement.
