Please tell me it'll be okay

[glasshill]

I'm leaving my husband of 25 years and taking the children: a planned escape after 25 years of abuse. I go on Monday. Please tell me it will be okay. I wasn't built to be on my own and I'm so worried about what the future holds.

[DungballInADress]

Oh OP. Holding your hand. It will be OK. Make the decision and go with it. It will be hard at first but you owe this to you and DC. Keep us posted

[CelestialFox]

It's going to be okay

[timeisnotaline]

You won't regret it op.

[9unctured6icycle]

Holy moly, well done you. What an excellent brave decision. You will not regret being free of the abuse.

You don't have to be on your own, there are a lot of people in your situation who would understand and support you. Will you be near some source of support (friends, family, domestic violence shelter etc)?

Hats off to you, you're doing the right thing.

[OhTheRoses]

It's going to be better. Good luck

[scoobydoo1971]

You are brave and not alone, you have your children. Good luck x

[LanaDReye]

A new life awaits. Yes you'll need time to adjust and there will be anxious moments, but enjoy the moments of euphoria of freedom. Keep the vision of where you want to be alive and ignore the pot holes along the way.

[BeachysSandyFlipflops]

How are you, @glasshill ? I've been thinking of you this week.

[yetmorecrap]

It will be ok !! In my first marriage I left after 9 years, was planned. I was petrified, within 3 months I was seeing someone else (didnt work out but certainly took the edge off the loneliness and upset) , so was my exH (so much for he couldnt live without me) -- seriously I found the thought of it was much worse than the reality.

[Justmadeperfectflapjacks]

I left exh ten years ago this month. .
Looking back I am so proud of myself. .
All mners are proud of you too op.

[SillyLittleBiscuit]

It's going to be more than ok. You're going to be free and happy. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope you're new life is everything you hope it is.
