If you are currently unsafe, please contact 000 for emergency services. In states like NSW and Victoria, you are also allowed to leave home for safety reasons and to seek out DFV related services during lockdown.

@BPDSurvivor hahaha, if only.

Sorry, @Daisydreamer . It wasn't my intention to try to hijack the conversation off into another direction.

I should have kept the language within the topic-at-hand bounds of small-scale relationships, where the overall concept is still extremely relevant (IMHO, at least).

e.g. If, within my own household, I want to go, but the other people there want me to stay - why is it wrong for me to do what's right for me?

(Edit: Apologies if this is still OT. Feel free to ignore this if it is.)

Question 6: What are some ways to look after ourselves after household/relationship conflict? What are your best tips for self-care?

[JungleGiants]

I have found it great that video and voice calls are back, even if they cant replace face to face contact. Thats something good ive found in lockdown 2
