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

How on earth is that supposed to be helpful?

OP: well done. Onwards and upwards. May you find happiness, contentment and fulfilment in 2025, now you are free from this bullying, coercive loser.

Thevelvelletes · 24/10/2024 07:02

Well done on removing yourself and your children from that pathetic excuse for a human being.
Going back in time,I think there is something wrong with a man who has an interest in a 17 year old girl.
Glad you've saw the light op.good luck with the future.

tirednewmumm · 24/10/2024 07:10

A huge well done to you your babies will thank you!!

Justleaveitblankthen · 24/10/2024 07:14

I'm in bits here 😢
You are a hero ❤️

Shoxfordian · 24/10/2024 07:19

You're so strong op, well done

Weenurse · 24/10/2024 07:25

Well done 💐

Gingerbread981 · 24/10/2024 07:27

So sad 😢 but then so happy to read you have got out and started a new life! So many woman could do with reading this! So many who think they can’t do it alone, they just need the strength. Well done you. I wish you and your kids all the happiness you deserve.

lovemyboyz247 · 24/10/2024 07:30

A huge well done to you. A brave, strong and courageous lady.

Wishing you and your children all the very best for the future 💕

Cappuccinowithonesugarplease · 24/10/2024 07:31

Well done for getting out ❤

HighlandCowbag · 24/10/2024 07:35

You absolute fucking Queen. Enjoy your new life, enjoy your children. Hope he dies a miserable, lonely old man.

NormaJoan · 24/10/2024 07:36

My heart sank and then soared for you. Wishing you a fantastic future life with your lucky (to have you ) children.

Soverysad23 · 24/10/2024 07:56

Beautiful, here is to 2025 indeed 👏👏👏

unsync · 24/10/2024 08:00

Well done. Don't look back. Go and live your life in peace and freedom. I am cheering for you and all the women who make the break.

I hope that anyone who has yet to make their decision is inspired by your post.

I found Women's Aid an invaluable source of help for getting my head around what happened to me. It really helped me to lay it to rest and move forwards positively. Happiness awaits you. 💪💪

jeaux90 · 24/10/2024 08:16

Amazing OP, well done!

I chose the live of peace and freedom 14 years ago. I still remember the relief I felt walking through the door of the new home, a place without him in it.

I've been a lone parent since then and I have never had regrets.

Come back and tell us how you are doing

justanotherchangeofname · 24/10/2024 09:44

Amazing, I hope you and your children enjoy your new fabulous life 👌🏻

To the people who feel the need to be utter tears, I'm sure the OP doesn't regret having her 4 children and wouldn't wish to be without any of them so there's absolutely no need to question why she had them, not that it even matters or what the thread is about.

You are amazing, wishing you all the happiness in the world ❤️❤️

itsmethebadwife · 24/10/2024 20:51

Just Wow.
I genuinely did not expect this response what so ever, thank you all so so much for your kind words it genuinely means a lot and sounds silly but the reassurance from strangers just makes a whole lot of difference to me mentally as no one in RL has a clue how bad things are...
yes he was the perfect gentleman when we met, I was treated like a queen and couldn't of asked for anything more I loved the bones of him.... then things slowly turned to what they are now, more so when 2 of my children was seriously poorly. I Would never change havin my children, their my heart beat literally.
But honestly thank you all so much I will keep you all posted, literally moved 90% out now- he hasn't noticed ! Then hopefully in around 2 weeks when Iv got everything ready, Iv a lot of flat pack left to build (urgh) we can just walk from here and straight into our new home that's all ready for us so the kids won't be in a building site, I know you may question why not just go now, but I don't want to upset then anymore then what it'll be I want them to walk into our home and be amazed and happy and forget about this life now, I don't want them to come to cardboard box central and rouging it, Iv kids with severe needs if this explains abit better. Also he's away with friends this week so helps me to crack on at home ! Xx
