SODA – Survivors Of Domestic Abuse
From an early age I knew that I wanted my own office. I was always using my mum’s coffee table as a desk, scribbling on a piece of paper with my pen and making calls on my invisible phone.
At 8 years old I had an electric typewriter for Christmas and learned how to type. At 14 years old, alongside high school I enrolled on an accredited typing course and it was on this course I decided I wanted to become a Legal Secretary. At 19 years old, after completing my 3 year course, I got my first job as a Legal Secretary. I finally got my own office.
When I met my ex perpetrator I was working at a small firm of solicitors. I loved my job, it gave me a sense of belonging and direction.
He didn’t love me going to work at all, so much so he locked me in the flat, throwing my mobile phone out of the 7th floor window. When I managed to get free, the first place I went was to my workplace where I was sacked on the spot.
In November 2006 he slapped me for the last time as I held our 10 month old daughter in my arms.
In May 2009 SODA was set up as a Facebook support group to raise awareness, reduce isolation and to support others. SODA offers emotional and practical support to victims and survivors of domestic abuse.
