My daughter and grandson will be staying with me for some time. My home is my sanctuary—a place of safety, healing, and peace after years of trauma.

The neuroscience of trauma shows that recovery depends on creating an environment where the brain and nervous system no longer have to live in a constant state of vigilance. After prolonged intimidation, coercive control, or abuse, the brain naturally becomes more alert to potential threats. This is not a sign of weakness; it is a normal survival response.

One of the most important stages of recovery is learning to establish and maintain healthy boundaries. For many survivors, this means no longer accepting behaviour that undermines their sense of safety.

I have experienced abuse, intimidation, and what I believe to be cyberbullying over an extended period. The impact this has had on me has been documented and discussed with the Guardia Civil, my lawyer, and my psychologist, all of whom understand why maintaining clear boundaries is essential for my wellbeing.

If anyone comes to my home or engages in behaviour that I reasonably believe is intended to intimidate, harass, or threaten me, I will not hesitate to contact the Guardia Civil. I will not allow myself to be bullied, intimidated, or silenced again.

This is not about anger or retaliation. It is about protecting the peace I have worked so hard to rebuild. My home is a place where I feel safe, and I intend to keep it that way.

Healing from trauma means recognising that I have the right to decide who has access to my life. My safety is not negotiable. My boundaries are not open for debate. Abuse, intimidation, and harassment of any kind have no place in my future.
