    Hi @duucjeiric. Firstly, I'm so sorry to hear that you've had to deal with this and that people can be so vile. If anything, I'm hazarding a guess that one of your main motivations for moving is so that you can protect yourself. As @charl1234 said, I would definitely put this on your application form.

    I was also in an abusive relationship a few years back and honestly and whilst I didn't live with the abuser, he knew where I lived. Within 6 months, my Mum, sister and I had moved out of the house.

    I'm thinking of you and praying that you'll recover from this. It does take time, but from my own personal experience, if you need to feel all the emotions, just let yourself. You've been through a traumatic time.
