So I’m slowly rebuilding myself after (finally) getting the courage to leave and weirdly yesterday I found that playing certain songs really helped me feel less awful and more determined to ignore his messages. I’ve got
Christina - Fighter
Katy Perry - Roar
F* you - Lilly Allen
Bulletproof - La Roux
Enough cryin’ - Mary J Blige

What else do I need to get me through?

I left a bastard to Enough is Enough by Donna Summer and Barbra Streisand. Aldi State of Independence - again Donna Summer.

Good luck

Shit List by L7:

"When I get mad
And I get pissed
I grab my pen
And I write out a list
Of all the people
That won't be missed
You've made my shitlist...

I will survive and young hearts run free are my go to whenever me and DH argue. They make me feel strong. Another one, that my mum and me used to sing when she left my abusive step dad was ‘still the one’ by Shania Twain. It reminded us that no matter what we had gone through we still had each other.

Not that I'm a particular fan of it, but when I was splitting from abusive ex, Nicole Scherzinger 'don't hold your breath' was on the radio a lot and always gave me a boost! That and 'don't stop' by fleetwood Mac.

When I read your title I immediate thought Christina Aguilera - Fighter but you already had it at the top of your list! Excellent break up song in my opinion.
