friends got me out, missed work not sure how to explain
This past week was the worst week of my life. My long distance partner was visiting/staying with me and as has happened before , during a fight he got violent with me. This time was particularly bad , and made me realize how scary of a situation (and truly terrible it could get) I had been in all these months with him.
This time instead of trying to hide it, I went to a friend who immediately told me to stay with her since I had fled my apartment without anything on me. She helped me get in contact with my sister, who is coming to get me and wants me to come stay with her out of state for a while.
In the mix of all the chaos, I missed work with no real details for 4 days. I work a very serious corporate job and I’m so scared of being fired or having to explain. I don’t want anyone at work to know what’s happened, but I can’t go back in office with bruises on my face without raising questions , and anyway I’d need to request to work remotely if I did go stay with my sister. I also don’t have any proof of what happened , I wasn’t hurt badly enough to go to the hospital, I just recovered at my friend’s house. I don’t know what to say to anyone. You hear horror stories of people not being believed or fired. I can’t loose my job, I have so much debt to pay off and am so scared.
I am scared about trying to put this piece of my life back on track, not to mention afterwards likely trying to move apartments and get mental health resources.
