Hello and thank you for accepting me.
I’m Yazmin and mother to a little princess.
I’m 30 something *cough*37*cough*
and we live in the Derbyshire area.

A little about my past. I went through just under 20 years of physical, financial and emotional abuse. I was made to feel that low that I felt that I could not survive without him. Christmas 2006 I was 7 months pregnant with my first child, sporting two black eyes, a fractured nose and whiplash injuries to my neck. Between Christmas and the New Year I couldn’t help think what sort of a life is this for my baby. So when on New Year’s Eve night my husband went out to celebrate the New Year coming in. I grabbed a few essentials and walked. Ended up at the police station. I pressed charges and with the help of the police and woman’s aid I moved far away from my husband. I knew if I didn’t go then I would return to him and I did not want that for my baby. January 1^st 2007 was the first day of my life. Prior to that was mealy an existence. I only had a one bedroom bedsit and a baby due within a few weeks, but that was all I needed.
A year on I have a 2 bedroom flat an 11 month old beautiful daughter (Olivia-may) and most importantly the post precious thing there is, something many take for granted. Freedom and stability. I have only returned back to my home town a couple of times, to visit my family. When I first returned on a visit my husband heard I was through and called round. Wanting to apologise, make it up, and see his baby.  How I had the strength I don’t know, but I told him where to go and closed the door. That is the last time I seen or heard from him. Just how I want it.
It has not been an easy year. But every down moment is picked up when I sit looking around at what I have now. My adorable daughter, my little but ample flat and our freedom, what more could I ask for. My husband was charged, received a conditional discharge and community service. I do not have any orders on him. But believe me should he turn up I will fight for anything I need to get him to stay well away. My daughter does not have a father, nor does she need one. I am currently going through the divorce, which should be finalised soon going by my solicitor.
