Thanks Belle.

I agree with both M and S!

I wonder - what needs to happen before you allow yourself to let go of Mark?

He is a narcissist. Everything you say about him points to that. Maybe learn a bit how they operate... It would help to see beyond the image.

P.s yes, I know I have to take my stuff - and you are probably right saying that he thinks I ll be back as long as they are there. But I cannot face it all yet. I took the train to see my counsellor yesterday which goes the same direction as the house and also stops at the stop 5 mins walk from the house - I had such stomach pains the whole way I thought I was being sick. I cannot do it yet.
