WOW! I was glued to this story from beginning to end! You've endured so much. I can imagine the hurt you must feel. The anger will come up for sure. I'm about to read your updated post on this matter.
But I wanted to say, I'm happy you left him. Doing the right thing for ourselves and taking care of ourselves doesn't always feel good in the moment. But if we go ahead and do it anyway, it starts to feel good and become a part of us.
I read in the beginning of your story when your daughter said you should divorce him and your response was that you didn't have the courage and that you were financially insecure.
Why do you think you didn't have the courage? Did you mean it was solely because you financially insecure or was it for emotional reasons?
