I have been debating posting here for a while, about my past relationship, the last two years, and how I got out, but I’m not sure

Questions / Advice Wanted

Hello! I’ll keep this short since, if I do make this next post, it is going to be very long. Basically what the title says. I finally left an abusive relationship about two months ago. We were together for almost two years, living together, essentially engaged, etc. When I say abusive, it is a term that took me a very long time to come to, and encompasses all lot of especially horrible things. I guess I am wondering if there is a place for that here. I have been in a lot of therapy, gotten help from the DV center near me, and now have a lot of safeguards in place protecting me. But I feel so lost, confused, absolutely gutted still, and I don’t want to feel that way anymore. Would it be right for me to write about what I just went through here? I do not want another woman to go through what I went through with her. I also fear she could be lurking in this sub or another corner of the internet where this post will be found, and she’ll know it’s me, and that feels terrifying. Even if I make a new anonymous profile (I don’t think she knows my name on here, though) a lot of the abuse can be really specific and I’m afraid this is just too public. It would NOT be safe. I am scared to make this post, I will probably delete it. But I want to hear from other lesbians I guess. Maybe it’s a bad thing that I want validation, but I feel so alone and even with all of the help I’ve received since leaving I keep wanting to come to a forum and write it out. I don’t know. Are there thoughts on this? Is that even allowed here? I don’t even know what it would sound like. It’s 3:30am at the moment.
