Can't take anymore- UPDATE

Not a Aibu, but I'm posting my update here as this is where I originally posted.

My previous thread about my arsehole of a STBXH, was full of incredibly supportive replies and gave me the massive push I needed to LTB.

I have moved in with my parents for the foreseeable future, my older dc have settled into their new school far quicker than I expected and I have a job! I start a week tomorrow. Who would have thought it?!

No more abuse, being called names, crying myself to sleep every night. I feel like a new woman!

Brilliant!

icanttakeit · 04/03/2018 23:04

Thank you.

Just being able to do what I want, when I want feels so alien, but I love it.

I can't wait to be able to save my own money and buy a small home for myself and my DC, something that is ours.

Well done. I didn’t read your previous thread but this is a very good thing to read. I think it might also give a bit of hope/ resolve to someone who is in a similar situation to the one you are in so important that you posted.
Good luck with your future.

That is fantastic. Not only have you set your children an excellent example but you will also have given hope to many others in a similar situation. Your future and your children's future looks so much brighter now. Well done.

FetchezLaVache · 04/03/2018 23:51

Well done, Icanttakeit (and you don't have to any more!). I don't remember your first thread, but it has nonetheless made me so happy to read your update. You sound so strong and so positive! Well done, you, for making this happen - for your children as well as for yourself. You're a brilliant, strong woman and mother. Sky's the ruddy limit! Very best wishes from someone five years on from where you are now. xxx
