Not sure where to post this....

To my husband

Do you remember The time you told me it looked like Freddy crouger had attacked my stomach- those stretch marks gave us 4 children. I'm proud of them but thanks for your opinion.
The daily reminder I'm a shit mum, but yet im the one who clothes the kids, feeds them, baths them, attends school assemblies, attends appointments, reads them story's for bed, comforts them, cuddles them, sits up in the night when their poorly- where are you?
You question why I avoid going out with you as a family, you put me down telling me to "shut up" when I'm playing with my children, you say I'm looking at men when I'm simply watching my children, you tell me I don't act like an adult when I stutter as I'm nervous around you- I will forever avoid been with you outside
The times you give me 101 things to do or tell me we have plans so I don't get to see friends and family or miss family events , I know it's always coming and what was going to happen so I no longer made plans, I just did as I was told, you used to win
The times you call me a skank for having sex before I met you, this is simply life my friend. I was honest and told you I had sex before I met you but never have I ever done anything to disrespect you in the 11 years Iv been with you, I devoted my life to you at the age of 17, you was 32.
The times you call me fat, ugly, skank, scruffy, slag, you've said them to many times for me to care anymore....
the times you spit in my face, grab me around my neck or push me if I answer you back, the times you throw things at me if I don't tidy them up quick enough.
You question why I don't want you to touch me when you want sex and why I'm constantly on my period, I just want to be alone on my own why would I want someone to touch me who thinks so little and horrible of me ?
I give my children everything I have to ensure they have the best life, everything they need and have the most amazing experiences.

TO MY HUSBAND

I hope to god my sons don't grow up to treat a woman the way you've treated their mum
I hope my daughters never ever find a man who treats them the way their dad treated their mum
I hope they grow up to consider how they make others feel and want to make people happy and love others.

TO MY HUSBAND soon to be EX

You no longer have any hold on me, physically, financially, mentally!
Me and MY children are gone, we have a brand new home and we ARE leaving. My ducks are in a row and this isn't a decision Iv made lightly. Our new lives are going to be filled with happiness, the best memories and just pure love without the anxiety that you bring when we know you're coming around us.

TO MY BABYS
I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get us out, I didn't do it on purpose but this is alls Iv ever known when I met your dad,I found the courage to get help mentally and speak up- this helped me to secure our future and what we have now and I promise il forever make this up to you and show you how life should be lived, no shouting or daddy smashing things up, we can get up and have lazy days with films, we can make slime, have takeaways on the sofa, we can go be feral in the woods and get dirty, make dens and have our crazy dance party's - the house will clean and I don't care so just be happy, lifes for enjoying as tomorrow isn't a promise. But I promise this is what I will show you

Here is to 2025

✌🏼🤍

Seriously?
You have no idea how those children were conceived.
You are judging and for that alone shame on you.

Yep. In every thread there is always one. As I said before it wouldn't be MN if there wasn't one of those people.

Back on topic, well done OP.

ClairDeLaLune · 24/10/2024 01:52

@itsmethebadwife please change your username to “itsmetheamazingmum” because you truly are, many many congratulations to you for escaping this monster and giving your children a wonderful new life. All the best to you for 2025.

You utter twat.

You have no idea of what sort of coercion or control or abuse OP had to live with. People don’t always have choices.

MindTheAbyss · 24/10/2024 01:55

OP! You’re bloody brilliant, you are ❤️👏 How lucky your kids are to have a parent with such love, courage and strength.

WearyAuldWumman · 24/10/2024 01:57

Kudos, OP. Well done.

GiddyRobin · 24/10/2024 02:17

You incredible woman. I just sobbed out loud genuinely. A big huge sob of relief all for you. Fucking amazing, well done, Lady! ❤️

Are you fucking serious? Really? Jesus wept. Do you need an empathy transplant?

Life that bad at home?

TofuTart · 24/10/2024 02:22

Sad Sad

Move far away and on and here's to you and your babies having a lovely 2025

You are absolutely incredible-and your children are very, very lucky to have a mum like you.

I wish you every happiness for your new, peaceful, future.

Waffle78 · 24/10/2024 03:09

Well done here is to the rest of your life. 💐🥂 🥰 Onwards and upwards

R053 · 24/10/2024 03:17

All the best to you for getting you and the kids away from this man. You have come an amazing long away since you were 17!

Fuckitydoodah · 24/10/2024 03:23

You are fantastic!

I hope you have the most wonderful rest of your life 💗

Why didn't you stop at 'I'm so sorry'? That was all you needed to say.

Well done, OP. Congratulations on your great courage and love for your children, and your determination to give them a better life, and what you've done and are doing to keep them safe 🎉

Savingthehedgehogs · 24/10/2024 04:49

Your post made me cry!

Op I wish my mum had your courage and strength. You are doing an incredible thing - he does not deserve to have any of you

Please keep us updated 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Victim blaming is never ok @Oxfordonian .

@itsmethebadwife You are a warrior mum. Sending you strength, hugs and positive vibes!!!! 💪🏻

I agree this is victim blaming. Clearly these men never start married life with a child as a tosser. Most morph into one when their wives are vulnerable, and unable to leave easily. They sense the shift in power dynamic and exploit it.

I guarantee he was charm personified for years - and the mask eventually slips and the babies are already here. It’s then very challenging to leave. Harder still when you are young and impressionable as op was at 17.

You have no idea about her childhood or background, or any other factors leading to this - so stop with the sweeping judgements which show a lack of intelligence on your part Oxford. This is a woman that deserves your respect, your support and your empathy.

Tiedyesquad · 24/10/2024 05:49

OP I can't tell if you have already left or are in the process of leaving.

If you haven't left yet please please take care and get help if you can, these men are most dangerous just as you go.

I'll take the bait.
You know, sometimes the man's behaviour and demeanour is such tiny, minor shifts over time, that it's only AFTER all the children have arrived and you're a few years down the line, that you look back and suddenly wonder how it went from a perfect match to you being unable to recognise the abusive twat you're married to, right?
Women don't tend to think, hmmm he looks/sounds like a knob, excellent husband material. It's a very gradual process and because you love them, you look for ways to fix your relationship first.
You keep thinking 'well, life has been hard, he's stressed from work, we've just moved house.... insert other random excuse to justify his change towards you. Then you realise that there isn't an excuse for the behaviour and that switch in personality is actually him now.
Don't you dare judge the woman.

Mammma91 · 24/10/2024 05:59

🩷🩷 well done you OP for finding your escape route. I wish only for you & your children to find some safety, calmness and normality in life. You were just a baby when you met him, you deserve happiness and so does your children.

EVHead · 24/10/2024 06:03

👏👏👏👏👏👏

You're amazing! What an inspiration you are for your children! You’re going to be an incredible family unit once you get away from the twat you’re married to.

I have a lovely image of him growing old and bitter and wizened and lonely, raging at the universe because he thinks he’s so amazing. Karma. 😁
