Good for you!! Your opportunities now are endless. You are safe and with your kids, and what happens next is up to you. Be kind to yourself.
Thanks for this!

I'm very proud of you for walking away

Keep your head held high


I know how hard that must've been for you, but trust me when I say it gets better from here, the only way to go is forward and forward spells progress.


Forward toward peace, safety and contentment.


Forward to a future of your choosing, not one based on his whims.


Keep us posted please

I have chills! I am so ****ING proud of you. Remember though it sometimes takes several tries leaving before it sticks. When I heard that statistic I was determined to break the rule.

Way to go!! You are so strong and courageous! We are all very proud of you!!! When my mom finally left my abusive dad, I was so thankful. Great work!

Yeah, it was quick... I'm not going to risk having my kids taken though. Came close before.
It's a little surreal. My daughter keeps asking why we're in a movie. It's strange. I'm not used to not knowing what's going to happen next. An exercise in letting go I guess.
I wanted to be more organized about this. But, well...

Oh HELL NO!
I'm not going through all this to wind up going back to him. If he gets his crap together and gets his arse into therapy and actually wants to be there and does the work to change, then maybe we can talk about joint custody and the like. But I am not going back. I put my heart and soul into my marriage and he not only acted like that was simply his due but stomped all over me too. I feel bad for him, but really, we have been through a lot - most of it I won't get into here. He should have learned by now. Anyone with half a brain would have. But he really does think he knows better than everyone else.

Just, thanks everyone. I've had a rough day. I'm so grateful for all the people I keep finding who are supportive. It's like I'm finding out that random strangers care more about me than I do about myself. I mean, today was hard because I had to do stuff I am afraid to do, and hate to do too, because for some reason I seem to think that it's okay for me to be hurt, but not for anyone else. The thing is, every single person I spoke to today acted like they really cared. It's a new thing for me, having people care like that... Makes me think that maybe it will be okay.

You've been on my mind the past week.

Your situation is bringing out the best in people, and this is so great. It is heartening to hear.

One day at a time, one foot in front of the other. I have to tell myself that all the time.
Thanks for this!
