What's the bravest thing you've ever had to do that didn't involve violence?

I'll go first...

11 years ago when I knew I had to separate from my wife even though I had no money, no where to live, and knowing that if I didn't, I was probably going to kill myself.

Luckily a friend took me in.

@Mrfunkedude i was married by 18. Groomed since 15 years old by a guy 12 years older. Divorce had recently been voted to be legal here in ireland but was still going through stages to make it into law in very strict Catholic Ireland. I got up the courage to leave, jumped on a train to Dublin & stayed with a friend. I'd 40 Irish pounds to my name which the ticket took. Didn't even have enough to get a taxi to their place. Had to walk most of the way there which was 45 mins by taxi

Mr. Funk E. Dude

@Cbfoley I'm glad that you made it out! That must have taken a lot of courage. I'm glad that things got better for you.

@Mrfunkedude Thanks. My neighbours from back then still won't speak to me. I was such a sinner splitting from my then-husband. He wasn't a sinner at all for grooming a teenager 🤷‍♀️
