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?

Oh Well by Fiona Apple.

Maybe not an overtly 'fuck you' song, this one is about realising someone's true nature and cutting the cord. I love the way it's expressed though - maybe you will get something out of it also. Maybe also try 'Go Haunt Someone Else' by Kevin Devine.

Another One Bites The Dust by Queen

[Intro]
Ooh, let's go!

[Verse 1]
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready? Hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat, yeah

[Chorus]
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

[Verse 2]
How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you, when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Look out

Only For A While from the incredible Anita Baker. Lovely, supportive song that's like a virtual hug.

Granted - Josh Groban. Inspirational song.

GTFO (Get the fuck out) - Mariah Carey

Life's What You Make It - Talk Talk

Backbone - Daughtry. (This is a bit of a tough love song but helps me sometimes to give myself a bit of a kick up the bum if I falter.)

My favourite fuck you song is All Against All by The Haunted. I've heard it described as '41/2 minutes of hate', and sometimes we need to rage.

Landed still makes me tear up to this day

Same here.
